My maiden name was Sandy Yester and we lived on Evans Ave. where Nevin St. deadends into Evans. Bruce and I went to school together from grade school to high school. I always remember the hill behind his house where kids would sled down on in the winter. It was steep! The last time I saw him was when he was manager at the Egg Castle in Fairlawn and a group of us came in late after attending an awards dinner for my husband and his co-workers. He looked great! Sorry to hear about his death.

Bruce and I met over 50 years ago in Boy Scouts. Growing up and thru adolescence we shared many great times--Boy Scout camp, Philmont Scout Ranch and many more. Two years ago we had a reunion with Dave Brendel,Tim Mahalic and Bruce at my house. Drank beer, told stories, and had a great time. Love ya, Bruce. You will be missed.

Don Frangos.

We met Bruce through Amway in 1974 or 75. During a trip out West last spring, we called Bruce and were fortunate to find him at home. We had a very nice visit with him. It was a pleasure to know Bruce. We extend our sincere sympathy to all of his family and friends.
