He was a great athlete, musician, drummer, husband and father. A patriot that served in Vietnam during a bad time in the war. A great friend to many, a loving father and grandfather, talented and great human being.

I remember Bruce at our family Christmases in the basement at his parents´ home in Oak lawn playing the drums and his Dad playing the accordion. They were such fun times for which I have fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with Kathie and Bruce´s family in this time of sorrow
