Bruce was always a fine gentleman. He would walk LuLu and I would be walking Abby. We shared many talks. He was a fine neighbor and will be missed a great deal.

Patsy, we are so very sorry.

I will miss my friend Bruce. I enjoyed his kindness and soft-spoken demeanor as a fellow Kiwanian and during his frequent visits to West Point Christian Church. I am sad because I will miss attending his memorial service; I will be conducting another funeral at that time. Carolyn and I share our deepest condolences with Patsy and family.

Really enjoyed working with Bruce at the Credit Union. He always rose to the occasion and did a fine job of anything that he undertook. Bruce was a hard worker, accomplished a lot for Baylands and was always a gentleman. Missed seeing Bruce when he moved to Richmond, but glad to see his happiness in his new life. He will be missed by many.

Bruce was an incredibly nice man. He rented from my parents for a time. Margie, your comments were spot on.

Sending our heartfelt sympathy and love to Bruce's family. Bruce was truly "a gentle man of character and good will." As a neighbor and friend, we will miss him. Alicia and Ralph Navon
