Although I didn´t know your husband, I know he was very special because God gave him a Saint to care for him like no one else could. That Saint is you Cathy. You are an amazing woman. God bless you and your family.

Dear Kathy and Family, I was so sorry to see of Bruce's passing. I was looking to print out my Dad's Obituary Rex Ransom who passed May 14 and saw Bruce's. I think you might remember him when he came to work at Sears at the same time we did. May God comfort you and all the Family and friends at this time. Debby (Duke) Hampton

Bruce was a great man and especially a great father, husband and family man. He loved his family and friends so much. The funniest person you could ever meet. Also, the most humble. As many know, he suffered greatly in his later years but we will all remember the good times we shared with Bruce. He’s no longer suffering.

Most importantly, Bruce requested and was baptized in his final days on Earth, in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Pray for the soul of Bruce. And pray that we will one day see him again in Heaven with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark Bridges Jr.

No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing God is with you and your family lean on him in your time of need. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.
