In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Bruce, You were always a smile and I'm glad I ran into you by fluke recently.You will be missed and the 30 years of laughs will be remembered.The couple of years that we were neighbors in the 80's were memories of a lifetime. The 70's at Sneaky Pete's and Charades after the Harness Track were the Best.
MaY your Family find Peace and strength in these tring times. My Condolences to your Daughter. Sam in Utica

Brucey had so much charisma. Every time I'd walk in the room, if Bruce was there, he's the first person I'd stop to say hello to. Then a little later, one of us would buy the next drink. We always had some laughs and then you'd see him on the dancefloor. To Bruce's family, you're in my prayers. Please know that he's very loved by his many friends. I will charish our memories for ever.

Brucey - as we knew him, will be missed very much. He always made us laugh with his sunny personality and amazing energy that surrounded him. He was one of the guys and will never be forgotten and we will miss him dearly.
My sorrow goes out to his family and friends.

These trying times are hard to endure,and may seem to be your darkest hours but be steadfast and be assured that this too shall past, for it is in his hands.
Our Father knows the tears you cry before they fall, he feels your pain and sorrow but with his strength you'll overcome, because these feelings will not last, for like every night that has come and gone this too shall pass...So even though you cried all night you'll get threw...For someone watches over you.
We love you auntie Xy (trica)
