Bruce R. Bockelman

Bruce you have crossed "The Finish Line of Life" way too soon! You must have heard that there were some long time track friends waiting to welcome you! Rest easy my friend. You were such a special guy and I will treasure memories of Road America, picnics at your home with your beautiful wife Liz and the family, the ///M5's, as well as that awful week together in Germany in 2001! It was all quite a ride! Enjoy the rest now and know that you were loved beyond measure. You will be missed forever and say hi to Marc for me please!

Liz, I extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family! We can only take comfort in knowing Bruce is no longer in pain. His long days of suffering are over, but his spirit will watch over his family forever.
Lynn, the pain in your heart may sometimes seem too great. Try to think of Bruce smiling down from Heaven and telling you it's okay; he's happy and at peace with our Lord!

Although I only knew Bruce briefly, I found him to be a very good man. Bruce loved his family and was a loyal friend to many. He was one of those people who, once you met him, you met a new friend. Bruce will be missed by all who knew him! Rest in peace, my friend, for now, you dwell in the house of our Lord for always.

I still have the picture Andy's Mom took of Andy Mark, you and me at our High School graduation weekend up at Lake Geneva. You filled the whole weekend with laughter. I'm so glad Andy introduced me to such a good friend.

Auf wiedersehen my friend! Fond memories with you and the "guys", glad to introduce you to Road America, honored to have stood up for your wedding, and will always remember the twinkle in your eyes when it came to Liz and your family.
Mark Stoldt

1st memory -- Meeting him shortly after he and Liz were married. Thinking they were perfectly suited for one another:)
Bruce was always kind, generous and welcoming of everyone -- I will miss that!
