Bruce was a kind Person & Neighbor. Always helping when he could. Just knowing he was down the street was comforting as you knew you could depend on him. I'll never forget Bruce's kindness during Hurricane Rita, when our home was damaged. He was there to help in many ways! God Bless all of Family & Friends!

Bruce you will be surely missed. I know you had been struggling as of late and I'm so sorry I never made it over to help you go through your house (lol). I'll miss all our phone conversations and the flea market and your jokes. I wish I could have been there to hold your hand. You are home now and suffer no longer. We will meet again some day. Love you Zoe

He will be truly missed. Bruce was a long time friend of mine for over 30 years! He was a friend who would help anybody do anything. I sorry to say I have not seen Bruce in the last couple of years which is to my sorrow. Bruce could give you a bear hug like no other. He was always a gentlemen and very kind to me. I never heard Bruce say an ugly word about anyone. I have lost another dear friend. And he was friends to all! RIP, love you dear friend, Rita Trahan
