Bruce, Samantha and I miss you terribly. We think about you daily. We so wish you were still here. I found more things that belong to you last night. Samantha and I are very proud of all your accomplishments over the years. Lindee is going to college to become a chemist you would be proud of her. All our love to you.

I too did not have the pleasure of knowing Bruce personally. But through the internet I saw Bruce as a caring, thoughtful, honest, and helpful person. What a wonderful husband, father, and friend he must have been. You will be greatly missed by all who had any contact with you.

I did not know you for very long, but the man I knew was a friend, in every sense of the word. I miss chatting with you. I just wish there was more time.
There is never enough time in this life, it seems, but I am glad that I spent some of it getting to know you. It is something that I will value, and treasure.
Thank you for taking the time for me, my friend. It was a very precious gift.

I didn't know Bruce personally except for the internet and I had benefited often from his wisdom.
May Bruce's loved one's take solace in the friendship of those who will surely miss him .

There is not much more i can say that has not been said. Bruce was a great man who gave all he had to help others and expected nothing in return.Though i knew bruce only a few years he will be sadly missed by all that knew him!To Amy & Samantha here is a little poem i found for you two, be strong, move forward and remember all the good times.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF BRUCE

God looked around his garden,
And saw an empty space.
Then he looked down here on earth,
And saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
His garden must beautiful,
Because he only picks the best.

A million times we'll miss you,
A million times we'll cry.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place,
No one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to loose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

Bruce, I hope you realized all of the lives you touched while you we're here. I only knew you for a short time but thats all it took to realize how genuine and caring a person you truly were. You looked out for people when others chose not to. You stood up for people when others would'nt. Thats a rare trait in people these days. Just know that the deeds you did for people did not go un-noticed. Rest in peace my friend.

Hello my love, my husband it's only been 5 days and I terribly miss you and want you here with us, but like I said to you before you left us no more pain, no more pills. You will always be loved by Samantha and I and you will always be in our hearts as I told you in the last hours of your life. I am so greatful for the 16+ years I spent with you and all of the fun we had, the memories I have will last a lifetime. I can feel you when I sit in your chair as if you were holding me. I think I hear your voice but than I don't. Just know that I told you I would be by your side through those days spent in the hospital and I was. The friends you have are incredible, the overwhelming support that I am in reach of is wonderful but I have to say I miss you more than anything and with Samantha your daughter with me we will be strong and make it through the tough roads ahead. WITH ALL MY LOVE AND HEART.....I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!! LOVE AMY

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Bruce, we will all miss YOU.
Bruce was a true friend, always there when you need someone, even if it is just to talk to. I will miss talking on the phone, our barbeques, and dinners, all the gatherings that we had, really great times.

I have said it many times, Bruce was like Will Rogers, He never met a person he did not like, nor did anyone I know ever say a negative thing about Bruce. A wonderful guy, would do anything for you, without hesitation, a big heart, and full of compassion and caring. God Bless You Bruce, we will always have you in our hearts.
