Bruce was a great Christian and a wonderful friend to me. I miss him dearly. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
Dear Frieda. So sorry for the loss of your brother. Know you will miss him as I do all of mine. Edna, the only classmate left, recently moved to Texas. We often spoke of Bruce.
We will surely miss Brother Bruce. He was kindhearted and gentle in every regard. He loved the Lord and lived what he believed.
May his gentle soul rest in peace with the Lord.
