Bruce was a wonderful man with a unique sense of humor. He loved his family, dachshunds, tinkering in his workshop, and especially enjoying his scotch and water. Almost everyone he met loved him and he will be sadly missed by all, but will be forever in our hearts and with us in spirit. Instead of good-bye, it is see you later alligator, after a while crocodile, and see you soon raccoon for in time we will all be together.
