To my biggest fan, mentor, love and best friend,

I miss you every minute...

You had such an amazing impact on so many lives... we are forever grateful to you.

Bruce was compassionate and serving to anyone that was in need. He helped so many, but never let anyone know. He was generous, in words and deeds. Intelligent with an amazing memory for details and never forgot a name. Bruce was a gentleman. Always stood for a lady, pushed in chairs, opened doors, and offered his umbrella or coat in the rain.

Kevin Bacon had nothing on him... Bruce had two degrees of separation between him... and the rest of the world. No one was ever a stranger for long.

We are having a Celebration of Life for Bruce December 16, 2017 from 2-4 at LaPlaya Golf Club, 333 Palm River, Naples, FL 34110. If you would like to come and raise a toast to him, you are welcome.

Love and Miss you Brucie!
