Bruce was a member of the Phi Gam fraternity, President of his senior class, and a respected musician at Ohio Wesleyan University. I remember him most for being a genuine, compassionate, loving, affable, and caring person. I was fortunate to have him in my life.

Bruce was one of my closest friends in high school. He was well respected by everyone who knew him and enjoyed athletics with him. So very sad to learn of his passing.
May God Bless his family. A true gentleman.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Bruce as a kind. gentle human being.
I was the light and sound man for the Music School in Toledo Ohio. I always enjoyed his company, that always included laughs and good times, also memories from Macinaw Island MIchigan When he left the area I missed and thought of him often. I actually googled his name late one night two weeks ago. I told myself I would call him after the Holidays. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know he will.be missed.

I got to know Bruce shortly after moving to Gig Harbor. He and I would enjoy a cup of coffee or two at Starbucks. I enjoyed his many jokes and stories and got to know him well. I consider him not only a friend but also family. See you in heaven my friend.
