I knew Bruce for many years. I met him through my sister. He was a funny, sweet person. Everytime I came to visit Georgia we always got together. Glad he and Peanut can be together again. My condolences to his family.

I heard of Bruce´s passing today. I was very sad to hear this. He was a super nice guy who I remembered as funny and just great to be around. I knew him when Chelsea and Robert were young and I can truly say he adored them so much. I know he will be missed by friends and family.
