My condolences to the Mills family in this sad time of your life. I went to Gorham school with Bruce and he was always a very friendly and supportive person. Dr. Mills was our family's general practitioner (Nancy & Paul Meyer) and I am sad you have lost your son so early in life. My prayers are to all your family.
