Bruce was always a delight! He attended and played for the Achor of Hope Bible studies! We always enjoyed his spirit and his challenging questions about the Bible! He was an amazing reader, seemed he love to read lots of books. I would give him a thick book (like 600 pages) to read, and he would bring it back a week later all read. So Sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to his family. We are thankful to have known him! Shelaine Bennett Rockland, WI
