Bruce was a positive light in this world. He was kind, caring, thoughtful and generous with his time and talents. Bruce was always playful and young at heart – he loved to laugh and make people’s day. He was a great friend to people of all ages in the communities where he lived and worked. His presence will be missed at the arenas where he worked and cheered on his grandkids and their teammates.
