Sorry for your loss
Michael and Christine, I was very saddened to hear that Bruce had passed. I worked with him for 8 yrs at ESC Wakefield. He was kind, loyal and hard working. His love of Christmas was INFECTIOUS. Bruce was a sweet man. I played piano in a band and we spent hours talking music. I remember the love and care he gave his camaro… I believe he cleaned it twice each week after work at the store. The world lost a bright light and a kind heart in your Dad. My wife (Jena Cresta) sends her condolences as well. Bruce was truly one of a kind.
We will miss Bruce immensely. After my sister, Joyce passed Bruce became more than a brother in law. He became a best friend. May he in Peace.
Very sad to hear of Bruce’s passing. I met him years ago at ESC in Wakefield and appreciated his willingness to help and answer any questions I had…always with a smile and friendly advice. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.
