I am so sorry that I lost touch with Bruce he was a very treasured person to me. Teaching me how to bowl and just being a person you want to be around. Much love to his family.

I met Bruce when I joined the Salt Lake Motorcycle Club in 2005. He was a great mc rider and I always enjoyed his company on long road trips.
After I had back surgery in 2017 I was forced to sell my bike and I dropped out of the Club. Sorry to say that that was the last time I saw Bruce as it is difficult for me to get out and about now. Learning of his passing, I regret now not having made an attempt to attend any Club meetings for one more chance to see him. He was such an Integrated part of the SLMC and he will be missed by all who rode with and knew him. God bless you, Bruce.

Wow, this is a difficult thing to do. Bruce was like a Big Brother to me. Bruce took me under his wings years ago. I worked with Bruce for over thirty five years, and we almost always checked on each other in the morning. I bought my first Harley from Bruce. No one could ride a Harley like Bruce. I joined the SLMC because of Bruce. My son Jeremy, and I shared many a ride with Bruce. I love this wonderful soul of a man, and will miss him dearly. I look forward to the day when we can hang out again. Bruce loved his sweetheart bride Linda, and He would often tell me how blessed he was to have married Linda. God bless you and your family Linda. Bruce, “Till we meet again brother.”

We just had our 60th Granger High School Class Reunion for the class of 1961 and we missed Bruce.
Sorry to hear that Bruce has passed. We weren't close friends but I try to keep up with all our classmates. Bruce is the 105th classmate of ours hat has passed.
I won't be able to attend the viewing or graveside service.
Best wishes to you survivors. My thoughts are with you you all.
I would like to receive a funeral program if there is one.
I keep the OB and programs in a binder for all our deceased classmates.
My address is 3588 S Highlander St., West Valley City, UT 84128-2318.
Thank you,

I worked with Bruce for many years. He was a good guy, a funny guy and a great friend. Bruce always reminded me of the Jimmy Dean tune, "Big John." He would laugh when I would sing it to him, replacing "Big John", with "Big Bruce." Like the song, Bruce had a Heart of Gold. He was, "a Hell of a Man!" He will be missed.

I don't remember precisely when I met Bruce. I know that it was through a mutual friend who was in the Naval Reserve. I so remember all the good times we had. How he could be so jovial, and friendly. We traded motorcycles once on a ride. His Electra Glide Classic for my Honda Shadow. He let my wife Kathe ride on the back of his Ultra once because riding in the Shadow was hurting her back. At the next stop, she got off of his bike and told me, "You can buy one of those now". He will always be as he was a big friendly man, who cared for others, and enjoyed life.

I will miss Bruce's funny stories. His jokes and laughter. He was always a happy guy riding with us, on his motorcycle, trike then following us in his Corvette on many club ventures. Until we ride again..SLMC
