Dana, this literally caught me off guard. My deepest condolences to you and your family. We were suppose to go fishing for a fish fry for the three of us. We last texted about him applying mulch and Savin on his garden and he was a God send in helping me get mine started. Dana, if I can be of help with anything, please let me know. Blessings to you and your family during your time of bereavement. Your neighbor, Michelle.

Bruce was like an honorary brother to me he was always had a smile on his face and was a kid at heart. He will be deeply missed but I know we will always see a glimmer of him carry on through his children. All my love to his family.
