"Jake" as we also knew Bruce, was a warm, personable friend to all who knew him. His smile and greeting would light up a room.

My heart goes out to his loving family and friends who will miss him greatly.

Dear Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I remember growing up (of course, many years ago), you and Bruce would always stop by every weekend for coffee with my mom and dad. You two were a great couple. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
