Grew up with Bruce and his family in Mount Pleasant, although I was a few years younger. His dad, Guy, was one of the best Sunday School teachers ever. His mom was as kind a person as could have been, and his sisters, Jennifer and Debbie, were like sisters to me. Great family. I am sure Bruce will be missed dearly by his family.
