Dear Shirley, Alec, and Vicki, I remember you all from St. Thomas Church in Newark. I was surprised to see Shirley and Bruce at Fischer Greenhouse one day, too, many years after St. Thomas. I just wanted to express my sympathy for Bruce’s passing.
Never easy to lose someone so close but his spirit will live on with you. Sande Taylor

Your journey on this Earth is complete but you will live on in the memories of all your family and friends. Just being your friend has been a honor. I will miss all the good times that we had together and hopefully we will meet again somewhere in this cosmos. My prayers are with your family and everyone your life has touched.

Bruce had been my neighbor for over 20 years. Both he and Shirley left small gifts for the kids often. He was always concerned with the happenings on Stage Road. He will be missed terribly.
