Me and Bruce worked together in Saginaw Tx . I had been looking for him over the years we lost touch . So I made it to (C) City as Bruce would say and stopped at the Store because I knew Bruce knew most in Town . The the laidy knew Bruce and told me he had passed away . I wish I would not have wasted time to see Bruce . Bruce was a GREAT MAN ! Could always make anyone smile

Although Bruiser will always be sorely missed, I often smile when I think of his sayings and his overall love of life.
I hope his spirit stays with us forever. May God bless and comfort you, Peggy & Joe Boy!
