My fondest memory of Bruce was our endless conversations of Pro Golf on TV. Still today many years later as I watch golf, I can't help thinking of Bruce and his love of the sport. Mike Fauci

It was a long hard struggle but at last he is victorious. His last 3 years were spent in a sedentary lifestyle but his wife, daughter Dawn, and husband Jim and grandchildren Ella,Megan and Cody were always there for him. He was content to read and watch TV and never ceased singing about his Savior. Laila and Jorgen
My favorite memories of Grandpa are listening to him sing and his jolly laugh. I’ll never forget they way he greeted us with his “aaayyyyy” and how sharp he always looked with his perfectly gelled hair. For years and years grandpa would I go in his yard and we could collect golf balls together to sell at the corner store, this would be the grandkids spending money at ocean city & it was the most exciting time as a kid. There’s nothing grandpa loved more than a good book (with a rubber band as a bookmark) checking his stocks, talking about politics, fishing & watching/playing golf. We will miss you soooo much Grandpa we love you so much
So many amazing memories! Hard to choose ❤️❤️

Dads favorite hymn was How Great Thou Art and I can hear him singing the bass part. He really loved singing and being in the choir
