Bruce, I feel honored to have been there with you as you entered in GOD’s arms. PEACE to you my sweet father-in-law.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Condolences to Bruce’s immediate family from his cousin.
Out thoughts and prayers are with Bruce’s immediate family. I have warm memories of playing pass with Cousin Bruce in my front yard as a young child, 10 years Bruce’s junior. Our love is with you all! Cousin Don Sproul, wife Kathy, children Jason, melani and Bethany, and grandchildren Dawson, Luke, and Joshua
I was fortunate to have been friends with Bruce over the years. My thoughts are with you during this time.
My sympathies to everyone in the immediate family for the loss of your brother, father, grandfather, and my cousin, Bruce. I remember him in his younger days during visits and especially driving me to my brother’s ballgame in his family’s Cadillac convertible! Of course, the top was down and he was very proud to be driving that car! I’m also thankful that he came to see me back in 1998 in Bryan, TX when he was traveling as a photography salesman. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you- Elaine, John, Lisa, Shawn, Sherri, and children, also nieces and nephews.

Lisa, Shawn, Sherri and children, and Elaine and John and your family, and also to Bruce’s fiancee, Mary, my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for all of you. I have a treasured memory of Bruce driving me to one of my brother Ed’s Babe Ruth games in Augusta in Bruce’s family’s Cadillac convertible with the top down. I’m also thankful to have had a visit from him in TX in 1998. Again, my deepest sympathies.
Cousin Cynthia, and my children daughter Laura Lewis and her husband, Chris; Ryan Gallant and his wife Jessie; and six grandchildren; Madeline, Meredith and Gabriel Lewis and Alexa, Casey, and Jenna Gallant.
