I just heard the very sad news yesterday. Bruce was my first love when I was 16. He had a kind heart and a wonderful sense of humor. Although I haven't seen or spoken to him in 20 years, I have fond memories of the years we were friends. He was a good friend and I am saddened by the news of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Dearest Bruce,

Even though I have only known you for a very short time you have added so much to my life like you have done to so many others. You will ever be in my thoughts and moreso in my heart!

Love and miss you---two busch!
