My cousin Bruce was more like a brother, as he was 4 years younger than my real brother Fran. They became brothers over the years and were always together on the farm, out in the woods, fishing at a local favorite spot or just hanging out at the house. He was a jokester and loved life. I will miss him calling me and telling me about his daughters and the grandkids. Fly high Gooch my little brother. You are with all the angels from our family now.
