My sympathies to the family and friends. I worked with Bruce at Delco/Delphi for many years. It was a pleasure to meet the family and relatives. Bruce - you will be missed!

I was saddened to read first of Bruce's wife's, then Bruce's passing. Bruce worked at Delco Electronics and I spoke with him often when he was a laborer for my area. Heartfelt condolences to the Kannenberg family.

My deepest sympathies to the Kannenberg family. Bruce was my boss for a while at Delco and always treated me very well, I have fond memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Kannenberg Family,
Oh my gosh! What a surprise to learn of your loss. I am so sorry. It's been so long since i've seen any of you, but i remember "little Brucie" from way back when we were kids. He, Arden, Rex and i used to have a lot of fun when we were together. And, boy could the four of us laugh up a storm! I have only fond memories of Bruce and the Kannenberg family, and regrets that we've lost touch through the years. My prayers are for a peace from Jesus that passes all your understanding right now. May your memories of Bruce be everlasting and sweet. He was the most smiley-faced child! Craig & i send all our Love.
