  1. I am so sorry for your loss. Bruce was a really nice person, as Marian was. I know Bruce is in a much better place away from pain. It didn’t matter where I was he would come up to me and say hello, how is everything going.Now you can rest in peace with Marian.

  2. Our sincere condolences. Bruce was always so kind and friendly when I got to know him while working for John Chrisman Sr. He always had a smile! The last time I saw Bruce, he was walking with a cane, but still insisted on holding the door open for me. Made me smile. RIP Bruce.
