Bruce was devoted husband and loving father, grandfather and brother who loved his family dearly. He was a talented draftsman who was dependable, hard working and enjoyed his profession. His daughters considered him to be the best father in the world as he was always there for them. He truly loved the Lord and his church family and was loved in return. With his quick wit and great sense of humor, Bruce brought joy into the lives of those that knew him. He enjoyed playing the guitar, singing and spending time with his family. Bruce will surely be missed but cherished memories of him will forever remain in our hearts.
