Though years took place quite quickly between visits, my Uncle Bruce was ALWAYS one of my FAVORITE reasons to smile!! The twinkle in his eyes & the "eyebrow raised/jaw opened expression" whenever we'd "banter" - will forever be in my memories as a TRUE favorite! He was a WONDERFUL man, husband, son, uncle, grandfather & friend. He will be truly missed here in this world, but now HEAVEN gets to rejoice in his laughter & jokes. (Say hi to my Mom & Aunt Jayne for me, okay? PS ~ I caught your goodbye Love & sympathy to you, Auntie Kathi; Grace; Tara, Ron & family; Bruce Jr, Lee & family - as well as to ALL of those that have suffered such a TREMENDOUS loss with him not with us anymore. **

Grampy, you were always there when I needed you. You were one of a kind and can never be replaced. You were always the one to give me those lectures each time I saw you. Always falling in the water at the fishing derbies, always finding four leaf clovers, always winning on scratch tickets. There's many more things I could say about you but it would take much longer than this. Just know that you are always in my heart and you will be with me everywhere I go. I have that heart rock you gave me for Christmas that says I love you on it and you told me; have this and keep it and just know I will always be with you. Now I know. Love you Grampy, I'll see you later. Keep a good watch on us
