Bruce and I first met in 2nd year Latin class in the 10th grade at SHS in 1963. We were roommates our senior year at UGA. Of all the people I have met since then, he had the most natural kindess heart. Quick to smile, he was a genuinely nice person. He was also a remarkably talented pianist! My prayers will always include Bruce's wife, Pat and his sons. I will always remember Bruce and will always treasure those memories.

Pat... I am so sorry to hear about Bruce. He was very sweet to me when I would visit his parents (which was quite often as they were some of the sweetest people God ever placed on the earth). You are in my thoughts and prayers.
