Bruce, we will miss you very much. We loved talking to you while you were either walking your dog or riding your bicycle. It was so surprising to find a neighbor who attended our beloved Florida State University. You will be missed in Snug Harbor. Bill enjoyed talking to you about training for the lifeguard test. Bill valued the great advice you gave him, and he was the lifeguard at our church's boys & girls camps. We love you & Lynn, and we'll be there for Lynn.
