We will sorely miss the early morning figure of Bruce walking his dog in the neighborhood! Heaven has gained another angel. Rest in peace dear friend.

So sorry for your loss. Had a lot of fun and laughs on the many golf courses we played. I know he put a lot of time and effort in organizing the trips. He will be missed.
