Dear Bev,
We were so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. We haven't see you for years but I'll never forget Bruce's cheerfulness, he was always smiling. I worked with Bruce for years and we had many conversations about bowling and golf. I know you will miss him dearly.

Bev,
Bruce made us all laugh with his honest sense of humor, and charmed us with his own style. We have always been so honored to have both of you as part of our family. Yes, we will miss him, but we all will always have him with us. Whenever there is a laugh to be had, an antique car to appreciate, or a time to share with you... Bruce will always be here. We love you.
Jodi, Joe, Amanda, & Becky

Dear Bev,
I was so saddened to read about Bruce's passing away. I can't believe that you two were married for 48 years. Where does the time go~~~just flies away when we reach this age. John, passed away five & half years ago, at the tender young age of 65. May God be with you at this sad time in your life.I can still remember all the fun we had together, the four of us and baby Patrick, who is now 35 yrs. old. He is a Major in the U.S. Army, stationed at the Pentagon, in Wash. D.C.He has had "four" tours of duty to the Middle East. God brought him home safely to me.
Lovingly,
Judy McNamara (Kingsbury)

Mrs. Grimshaw,
I'm so sorry to read of Bruce's death. We went to Gates Lane School together and I think South High also and he was such a nice young man. We were friends back then and I'm so sorry that we lost contact over the years. Please know that my prayers are with both you and Bruce.
