My brother is now at peace
I have received several words of condolences - some have mentioned his dry humor.
There was another more important side of Bruce, that I have experienced from childhood until recently
He was a kind, protective, loving brother.
I am one lucky younger sister to have had a brother that I can call my hero

RIP Brucie
