Our deepest sympathy to Bruce's family. I (Don) spent many week-ends with Bruce and the family as all his kids were growing up. You could say I grew up with Jeff & Julie. I have good memories of that big camping bus, and many miles of woods adventures on motorcycles and in dune buggies with Bruce & my father Bernard. Rest in peace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
