My thoughts and prayers are with Connie, Dustin and family. I will miss having long conversations with Mr. Conner at Walmart and occasionally Foodlion and will also miss from blowing at him in the yard. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that he's out of pain and resting now.

There are no words at how much Bruce will be missed. He was so good to all of us that knew him especially our children. I will always cherish stories of our family vacations and Bruce cooking. His famous Mac and Cheese. Prayers for each of you during this difficult time but memories are so special. Share those memories.

I didn't know my cousin Bruce as well as I would have liked but he always joked around and made me laugh when I did see him. I will miss him. I pray for all the family - you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mama wanted to visit him this summer and we never made it. God be with us all.
