Bruce was always kind to my family and I. He always had something nice to say and loved to share the abundance of apples from his apple tree. From my family to his, sincerest condolences. Bruce was a wonderful gentleman. - Posted by: Joe Lesko (Neighbor) on: Aug 20, 2017

My fondest memory with Bruce would have to be playing harmonica with him every Christmas Eve for many many years harmonizing together. I went to their wedding 2 years before mine and it was wonderful. I reminisce back to driving to pick up Carm and Bruce in my 1930 Model A convertible with a rumble seat in the back. They loved going to the beach with the wind blowing through their hair! They raised four amazing sons and I'm sure they can tell you many stories of days gone by as well. You will surely be missed by us all Bruce! Love George and Angie - Posted by: George Bye (Brother in law ) on: Jul 25, 2017
