Debi, I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Debi and Sara, it's difficult to think that Bruce is no longer in our midst. He entered my heart when he was only 7 years old. That is when I met and married his cousin, Barry. I will always remember his big wonderful mischievous smile and his tight hugs. Debi, the immeasurable pain you feel can only be lessened by knowing that he has joined his dear mother, father and brother; ones that he loved and missed so much. Your memories will sustain you.

Bruce was a close and dear friend of mine when we were in high school,I wish we had kept in touch more. I know he will be missed. I didn;t even know till last week that my daughter was a close friend to his step daughter.
Our prayers are with his family.

Bruce, it makes me sad to watch you go. I remember the times you made me laugh, and the other times you irritated me. I think that was on purpose some of the time. We were always watched over by our guardian angels when we were together. I can imagine them talking now. Where's your brother?

Thinking of you all & holding your family dear to my heart during this difficult time & for always. xo

My best memories of Bruce are all the years we worked together at J&G. We shared a lot of laughs and good times. I will miss him dearly. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so saddened to hear of Bruce's passing.  1982 J&G was many years ago, but I can still remember his sweet disposition, smile and John Wayne walk.  He was patient and kind, one of the best supervisors I've known.  Many thoughts and prayers be with you Debi.

My condolences to Debi, Terry, Bill and all the family I have not met.  I worked with Bruce, Terry and Bill McAdams years ago at J&G, that was 30 plus years ago.  Geez, the time has flown by, it sure doesn't seem that long.  Bruce never had a bad word to say about anyone and always smiled with those pearly whites.  I have kept in contact with Terry all these years and I always ask how Bruce is doing.  He will be missed by all.  I'll close with this quote from John Wayne, Operation Pacific...  "He was a good man.  Make sure that it says so on the patrol report."

Debi; My thoughts and prayers are with you!! Bruce will always be a part of many great memories from "the good ole days". Sincerely,

Sara, I am so sorry for your loss , you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Debi and Sara, please accept our deepest regrets and know that you are in our hearts and prayers at this very difficult time.  We love you,
Aileen and Dianna Wiseman

So sorry for your loss. Brad and I remember Bruce very well. Its been many yrs.
Debbie and Sara..
Our most sympathy is in our hearts for you. God Bless, and rest in peace Bruce.

Uncle Bruce I sure will miss you. I'll miss your silly jokes and your snort chuckle laugh. I'll miss you standing in the driveway after I departed from a visit and you not letting me leave until my seat-belt was buckled and my door was locked...you'd stand there holding up an "I love you" sign until I was completely out of sight. I'll miss how kind you were to me always and to my friends, and to everyone. I used to roll my eyes in my mind when you told me the same stories over and over forgetting that you'd previously told them to me. I'm not going to lie it annoyed me that you did that sometimes, but now I just wish you were here to tell me about the shark you killed with your bare hands, or to tell me about the petrified wood, or your rock collection just one last time. I'm so grateful to have had you in my life. You were more than an uncle to me, family was everything to you and you loved me without judgement always. You were like the father I never had. I'm sorry I didn't come visit you more often. I'm sorry you were in so much pain. I'm glad you aren't in pain anymore. I will never forget you. I know you loved your nieces to pieces. You're more of a hero to me than all the cowboys portrayed by John Wayne complied into one. Now get off your horse and drink your milk! I LOVE YOU. - your favorite niece... Roxan
PS. Aydan and Kody love you too.

Debbie; 
What can I possibly say that could ease the pain and emptiness that you are experiencing..
 All words are hollow, and the pain is unmeasurable, no matter how we try..
All that I can say is that Bruce was a unique individual, whos personality was typical of the Fouts family.  Dean, Madge, Larry & Bruce were all carved from the same stock: Loving, caring, and concerned about others. Pleasurable to be around, and seldom a disheartening word.  Yes, I hear his voice in my inner soul, laughing.
We will miss him, but we also know that his mortal body is finally released from the years of pain and suffering he endured.  
If not for our own selfishness, we would be rejoicing in that thought. 
Good bye Cuz, you will be missed.
Rick and Linda

We only got to know Bruce over the past few years.but know that he will be missed by many. We are .so glad we got to spend a nice few hours with Bruce and Debi  at Roxan's wedding in July. Rest in peace Bruce!

Hey Bro, we had a great time spending birthdays together - shootin cans - and just hangin out.  I will miss your crazy sense of humor and your contagious smile and laughter.  you were always there for me as a big brother.  I miss you terrible already!  "We re burnin daylight pilgrim!"  I love you!  CHEERS!  Your lil sis, CINDY

What a wonderful Nephew-in-Law, Just wish we had more chances of being together but he miles were too far.  He & Debi were the best host in their lovely home.  Will miss him and extremely glad he is not hurting & suffering anymore.  from uncles John & Mel, Modesto, CA.

We had a great time during the past 28 years, I will miss you and all our fun times. I am sorry for all the pain you had to endure over the last few months. 
Say Hi to John Wayne for me. 
I know you would say "dont be sorry-It's a sign of weakness" 
Love You,  Deb
