I went to school with Bruce. He was always such a nice, friendly guy. Rest in Peace, my friend. Prayers for peace and comfort for the family.
You were always kind and laughed at the funny things we would say and do. The fun times laughing with Uncle Pat, Becky and Mack. Great memories we will treasure. I know it’s a great celebration in Heaven. RIP Bruce. No more cancer!
