Dear Carmen, Brad, and Jason,
I was shocked to hear of your recent loss and very sorry I did not know in time to pay my personal condolences to your family. Bruce was one of the classiest and most positive people I have ever met and an individual whom I held in the highest regard. I will be thinking of you all at this difficult time but wanted you to know of the tremendous respect that he, as well as your entire family, has in the Plymouth community.

Dear Carmen,
Even though I haven't seen you for many years, I am so sad to hear about Bruce's passing. I remember that great big smile of his and of his ever-present wit and good humor. You and Bruce and Jason and Brad are a big part of my memories of life in Plymouth when our kids were young. Love and prayers to you all.

I am broken hearted to hear of Bruce's passing. Your family has always had a special place in my heart and I will always remember the warm smile that greeted me everytime I saw Bruce. The last time I saw him was over the summer. He was sitting on the deck at the Yacht Club with my other favorite ERBC dads from long ago: Mr Hallunen, and Mr Bernstein. It is always a treat to see any of the Davis family, You are all truly some of the most loving people I know. There are no words that can make a person feel better at a time like this. Just know he is probably sitting on the porch of a yacht club somewhere with my dad watching the boats come in. He is in good company. <3

Carmen and Family,
I am so, so sorry to hear about the passing of my favorite PO window customer, Bruce. I looked forward to seeing his smiling face each and every day during the many years I worked on the window at the Plymouth PO. He truly was my favorite customer ever!
I know he will be sorely missed.
My deepest condolences to the Davis family.
