My sympathy to the family. Although no one will know who I am-----I am an OLD friend of the Foulkes when we spent time together on Oak Island NY. I also live in Florida now & when I saw the listing in the newspaper I wondered if Bruce was still availabe for an old aquaintance. I knew both Brion, Bruce, Mom Pruella and Dad Brion. Sorry if this inconveniences you but at our age we grab whatever memories we have. Again my condolences to the family. Cordilly, Helene Knoess Pecoroni---561-439-1485---address-1004 10th Lane, Greenacres, FL 33463
