Bruce was a great guy. I always enjoyed our talks at family gatherings years past . He always had a positive attitude at the Guard Base where we both worked. Retiring as Chief Master, I would not have expected anything less, good by my old friend .... John C.

Jeff and Family- My condolences on your loss. Bruce was my favorite patient. I loved his feistiness. I enjoyed our conversations and listening to his stories of when he was young. He definitely lived his life to the fullest. He will be missed by so many. RIP in peace Foxy!
