In the few years I’ve known Bruce, he’s been a very warm & caring man, as well as a very talented carpenter. My thoughts, love & prayers to his loving family for their loss.

I last saw Bruce the end of January. He had been doing work on my house. He was a talented carpenter. He was always smiling and ready to joke with you. A kind soul who will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
Bruce did numerous remodeling jobs around our house in Richland until we moved away. Wish I could have taken him with us! He was a true professional that took his work seriously and was always fair in his dealings with others. His smile was infectious and his calm disposition a joy to be around. He will be truly missed.

I was a high school classmate and teen-age friend. We had some good times together fishing and hunting in Westbrook. Bruce or Brucy as his mother would call him was fun to be with. I remember road hunting for pheasants with him using his sister’s car and watching helplessly as the car rolled into the ditch when we were about 50 yards away. The ditch was gentle, so there was no damage to the car. I guess his sister never knew…til now.
I remember visiting my Uncle Bruce and his family when I was quite young. I was sleeping on the floor in the living room and got up to try to find my mom and dad. After mistakenly going into Bruce and Teri’s room I was so embarassed I ran out and stepped into the open mouth of a bear bear skin rug. By then the whole house was awake! We all miss him.
Bruce and I grew up together
in Westbrook, Minnesota, we
spent our boyhoods together
and were best friends. My
deepest sympathies to his entire family. I will miss him.
