I first met Bruce when I worked at Hannaford on Quaker Rd. I went to work for Stewart´s on ridge Street and low and behold that´s where Bruce and his buddies met every morning. Bruce was a very caring and fun to have around. I hope heaven has hot chocolate as good as ours in Stewart´s. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy to his wife for her loss.
