Bruce was in the car sales business for over 45 years, he was a natural. He enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, going to his grandchildren’s events and vacationing at the river. He was a huge country music fan, his girls will always remember him playing his favorite songs and singing along as he tapped his fingers on the dashboard as if he was playing the piano.
