Dear Sharon,
I heard of the passing of your husband and want to offer my thoughts and prayers for you and your family. I pray you will find comfort and peace in your time with loved ones.
With sympathy,

Bruce was an amazing man. His talents were broad. If you were lucky enough to know him well, you found a solid and loyal friend. He was quiet for the most part but be careful – he was always scheming to pull a prank or find a laugh. He loved his family and he loved the outdoors. Our memories are many and cherished. We will certainly miss him. Our prayers are with Sharon, DJ and family.
Sharon & family,
My heart goes out to all of you!
