Connie & family: My prayers for peace and comfort and good memories are with you at this time.



I worked with Connie at Rollins and Jeff & I got to know Bruce because we live in the same neighborhood.



May the peace of God be with you.

Bruce was a true friend who always brought smiles and encouragement when we would meet. We have great memories of times together with him. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.



The insurance community of Florida has lost a good friend also; His quiet, tireless efforts over many years connected a lot of insurance companies with agencies and their customers to make more markets available to the people of Florida.



His work in his own agency and later representing Associated Lumber Mutuals and the James S. Kemper Companies, followed by his years with Independent Fire Insurance Co. and later Florida Family Mutual Insurance Co. was quite a successful career. Bruce helped many independent insurance agencies not only get established but increase the markets they represented and to grow their business as well. He had such a positive effect on very many people.



Our thoughts and prayers are with Connie and their family he loved so much.
