I have waited some time before leaving this memory as I have lost so many friends and relatives in the last few years I tire of writing these. Bruce and I along with a gang of compadres had been friends for many years. He was like a member of my family and we had many fun times together. Bruce was " the real deal " when it came to being a friend. His time on this earth was short but he left a memory for many of us to treasure. Rest in Peace my friend. Mike J

I am so sorry to hear this! It has been many years since I have seen Bruce but there was a time when we got together for a Road Rally at Halloween with friends, Doug Swallen, Mike Johnson and others. He was a lot of fun and we had good times.
