Over 40 years ago I met this big hearted guy. We lost touch over the years but recently caught up on Facebook. I actually went to his page today to ask him a question and found out he wasnt there nor would he ever be there again. This was a shocking day to find this out. Rest in Peace big guy. Condolances to Vickie and your family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
Bruce was always happy, sincere, honest and a pleasure to work with.
I will miss him.

We only met Mr. Davenport in person once, but dealt with him on the phone throughout our home buying process. He was always kind, courteous, and professional. Although occasionally his sense of humor would sneak through. It was a pleasure to work with him. He made things easier and less stressful. We were very saddened to hear of his passing. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

I miss you Big Guy. You are the kindest man with the biggest heart. I learned so much from you. When we worked together at the Associates and First Choice, I hardly felt like work at all. I'm sorry that I didn't get to see you again. I will never forget you. Thank you for everything you do everyday.
How you can show support

I will miss Bruce always. We had so many great times and laughs together and hoped to have many more. Over 40 years we knew each other. He was family to me. Loved him. I am so sorry for Vickie and her family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Bruce always had a twinkle in his eye and could find humor in life . He loved his karaoke, pinball, games cars and having fun. He had a big heart and loved having friends over. He was a great loyal friend and would go above and beyond to help you. He was a great problem solver and could always fix computers, printers, etc even when we thought they were a lost cause. It is a tragedy that he left us so soon...We will love you and miss you always.

We were shocked and saddened to read of Bruce's passing. My Dad, Bob Bendetti, knew Bruce for over 40 years and he always spoke fondly of Bruce. He called my Dad "Flash". Bruce helped my family with some financing deals. God bless and may you find comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Bob Bendetti and Cathy and Greg Yutko

"What's Happening," will forever be imbedded in my mind when I think of you. You were one of a kind. A loyal friend, a thoughtful soul, a kind heart, and a fun loving spirit. You could always light up a room. I am so forever grateful to God for your friendship and for the love you gave to both my girls. Until we meet again my friend, I'll love and cherish every memory. Thank you Brucey. Love you.
