Known to my sister and I as “Uncle Bruce”, Bruce was our Santa Claus and was a very special person in our lives! He could always tell a joke and make us laugh! Our sincerest sympathies ❤️

I got to know Bruce very well as a very young man from back in the mid 1960's even though he was a few years older than me. I and my younger brothers went to school with Bobbie, Blair, and Bradley who my family enjoyed playing with and visiting with their parents, they were great and generous people. I got to know Bruce even more when he was a Police Officer in Glen Dale because I worked for Pepsi in the repair garage in Glen Dale, he would stop in quite often to visit and B/S with me.

Debbie, Stephanie and all Bruce's family ... My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Bruce was one of a kind ... always upbeat ...friendly and ready to help! I know your pain is great now ...but he is only a thought away ... and he's watching over you and leading you on to have a wonderful life! Everyone has a story about Bruce and his goodness ... I never did get him to tell me how he made those mouth watering ribs! Wrap yourselves in the good times and know we are all a phone call away when you're down.

So sorry to hear about Bruce’s passing. I worked for many years with his wife Debbie. I saw Bruce almost every day on his lunch or dinner break while he worked for Glen Dale & the Sheriffs office. He was a wonder guy with the most boisterous laugh. He did always love a good joke & his family was his life. My condolences to his wife Debbie & his daughter Stephanie & all the rest of his family. Prayers & love to you all. ❤️

So sad that we have lost such a fantastic, one of a kind man with quite a great sense of humor. I have so many wonderful memories of your Dad (and all of you!) from growing up. His laugh is ingrained in my memory. And his love for all of you is forever in my heart. I know he is hugging Beeber tight and that does make my heart happy. Love and prayers for all of you!
