We miss bruce very much. He worked with my husband for many years in his engineering firm. He was a kind, wonderful, caring person. We have so many Bruce memories. He is in a better place and I am sure very busy with his jobs and endeavors in heaven. Days may be bygones but memories remain a shadow. sandy and elmer g

Bruce did marvelous beautiful things with wood for many people. I asked him to make my husband a gentleman box..... He said what is that? We treasure the one he did make for my husband.
