    Those we love don’t go away,
    They walk beside us every day,
    Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear. God bless you Bruce…

  2. Bruce was my boss, coworker, and friend. I am fortunate to have known him. He was a straight shooter. He was real and funny too. My husband John and I enjoyed his jokes and company. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Thanks for everything, BAM. You are truly missed. God bless.

  3. We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Bruce’s passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

  4. Bruce hired me 15 years ago and was my work mentor since. Great knowledge base and work ethic. Good guy and friend. The place just won’t be the same. I miss him.

    The sufferings endured are miniscule to the glory to be revealed. Grace and peace be with you.
