Wow, I'm shocked by this, I still remember his big beard and grin, so young, I knew he was crook, I don't know what to say here - hope his family is O.K ???-
I'm having a beer for you Bruce and I hope you took your wire bender with you. RIP. Sincerely Pete

Only exchanged a few posts with Bruce so far , .............on the sites we're only familiar to new members to join in , but never used to well known senior members having to leave this way , especially not before their time !

My thoughts are with the loved ones left behind , .............farewell , Bruce !

My prayers go out to the family. Bruce and I exchanged info on how to powder paint. I made a red and blue spinnerbait with a white star on the body and 3 stars on the main blade. Bruce always liked that bait. I made it as a tribute to a 4th of July day several years ago, which was posted here. I believe he was a Vet. RIP Bruce.

I met Bruce at the TU meet a couple of years ago. He was an addicted wire-bender for sure, loved going after those toothy muskies. He was and ex-marine switched over to Air Force and had a million stories to tell about his years of service.

He will be missed greatly. Prayers to the family. RIP Bruce . . . . Semper Fi!
