One of the most nostalgic memories I have of Bruce is he always smelled of peppermint.

Uncle Bruce has always had a special place in my heart. I always looked up to his leadership and strong Christian values. A memory that stands out is our Christmas Eve get togethers at Grandmas. I love that he was always so close to my mother. Such a special bond they have . Such a blessing he was to us all. He will be greatly missed, the sweet memories will always be cherished. Love to all from the Campbell Family

Uncle Bruce was a person in my life that I always knew where we stood. He was strong in his beliefs and always spoke frankly which I always respected. I learned a lot observing him. I loved spending childhood holidays together with my cousins, especially Christmas time. They are all wonderful memories! Wondering through his garden and sneaking blackberries from his backyard trellis was always fun for me. His faith was strong and sometimes even scary but in a good way. Despite his strong views, I never felt like I couldn´t speak my mind. He listened and would just laugh all the while my knowing he might have disagreed or thought it nonsense. Uncle Bruce was a strong figure in my life and I will miss him dearly. I am certain that the lord graced him with a VIP pass to heaven!
I have peace knowing he died surrounded by the people he loved most.
Sincerely,
Carrie Lin
