A full Obituary will be available at the service. On Sat. September 19, 2020 an open calling hour will be held at LifeWay Church at 2172 Berlin Turnpike Newington at 10am-11.

There is a lot I could say about Bruce. He was a loyal and trusted friend for the past 15 years. We worked together for all of those years. He loved his job driving a school bus and Never missed a day until he got sick.
I will miss our 5:30 AM coffee hour where we would chat just about everything and anything.
No worries, Bruce, I will watch over Lucy and her family for you. I will always make sure I sure I say your name when I am with Austin. He will never have the chance to not remember you and how much you loved the little guy! You are a great man and will be truly missed each and every day.
Go meet my parents and tell them I am OK and miss and love them. Until we meet again Bruce and have that beer and smoke in the clouds!
Much Love
Cheryl

Jody, Lucy and the rest of the Gorman Family,

My heart goes out to all of you. So sorry to hear about Bruce. We had a lot of great times together and I will always treasure those memories. We had so much fun back in our "band" days. Bruce was a wonderful and talented man with a great sense of humor. May you all find comfort in the good

times you have all shared together. My sincerest condolences....and Bruce...Happy Birthday...love you my friend!

Lucy and family, My deepest condolences to all of you. I worked with Bruce many, many years ago and as "extra" bus drivers, we traveled together for all those special events for the kids all over the State. He took me under his wing and guided me in my unfamiliarity in being new to driving those big yellow buses for Double A. Bruce was a wonderful person - friendly, encouraging, caring, giving and always, always loving you, Lucy. You were his pride and joy and he talked about you all the time - you were just a young girl back then but always the light of his life (besides his truck!). I am so sorry you've lost this gracious and generous man, his heart was enormous. May comfort be yours in knowing he is always with you. I am so sorry for your loss.
