I am so saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. I always thought I'd get to see him again on one of my return trips to PA. Will always think of Bruce as one of those special friends who is more like family. Happy trails dear friend. Till we meet again.

Bruce was a long time customer of mine when I had dolls place. I then meet up with him at Maple shade Meadows when I placed my Aunt there. He was a God send. My Aunt was in love with him. He was so sweet to watch after her. She always had to kiss him when he did something for her. So sorry for the family's loss. He will be missed.
