Hallmarks of success in a man's life are a long marriage to the love of his life and the provision of expanded opportunities to his children. Bruce's 30 year marriage to his love,Nancy, and the educational opportunities succesfully seized by Aly and Rachel are testimonies to Bruce's prized successes. Now he rests in peace and abides in the hope that these memories of him and these values are passed to his future grandchildren.
