The next striper I catch, I'll think fondly of Bruce and over exaggerate about the size and how long it took to reel it in. Rest easy, Bruce, sad that we lost touch over the years.

Our prayers are with you and your family. I will never forget Bruce. he was a die hard Boston red sox fan as well as a patriot fan, actually any of the Boston teams Bruce was cheering them on. He loved to come to our house for dinner and we loved having him. He was always very helpful when he was there by helping me lug in the groceries, or the heavy sheetrock that had to go upstairs. He was great to my Mom and great to the kids, we always considered him part of the family. He came to Moosehead to fish and was up for about anything. Bruce had a good soul. I am so sorry for your loss.
