I worked with Bruce at the Base for years. He was always kind and respectful to me. I would stop by his office from time to time and talk. He liked his 4 wheeling trips when he could go and he always said if he had stayed at the house on the lake things probably would not have turned out as well for him as they did. People were always dropping in and Bruce would never say he was too busy or too tired. He always had some interesting things to say about his times spent at the quarter horse shows. Spoke a lot about his grand kids. The only guy I knew whose in-ground pool tried to float when it rained real hard. I sure liked him a lot and I sure will miss having him around.

From his friends and colleagues at Boeing in Anaheim and Huntington Beach, CA and Hill AFB, UT we are saddened to hear this news. Bruce was a wonderful man to interface with and the products he supported are better off because of his professionalism and expertise.

Kim and girls,
It is difficult to say good-bye and let go of someone so loved as Bruce. I felt like I knew him over the years. He was a trooper. You and the girls will miss him terribly. So glad he is no longer suffering. Hang on to the pictures and tell the stories of times you remember. That way you will keep him alive in your life.
Love,
