We loved to hear him pray as a deacon during communion at Victoria Christian Church. He now stands with Almighty God. Rest peacefully Bruce. Our love to the family.

Over 50 years of friendship beginning in the Admin Office at then Camp Pickett created fond memories of this uniquely intelligent, sentimental and wildly unpredictable man. My heart is beyond sad, but happy you have finally found peace in the arms of our Lord Jesus. I miss you already, Bruce🙏🏻🤗🥰😭

I remember Bruce always came by my grandparents house at Christmas time every year, and he was always happy and smiling. May he Rest In Peace.
