Barry and Bill -
I am sorry to see that Bruce passed away and wanted to send my sincere condolences to you and your families. It's hard to believe how many years have gone by since we all grew up on Ellsworth St. I've seen Bruce a few times during that time, most recently in 2016 when I was home for a few days. I stopped by his house and we had a chance to talk for a while and caught up on things and a few friends including you guys. Bruce was truly a good guy and I know he'll be missed by many. Take care and rest in peace Bruce.
