What Bruce was like

He was the most amazing person. My uncle, my best friend. He could play guitar better than anyone I’ve heard. Could hear a song once and play it beautifully. He was kind, caring, smart, funny, and an amazing person overall.

Fondest memories of Bruce

My favorite memory of Uncle Bruce was sitting in my aunts kitchen one day. He was sitting on a stool next to my mom, my aunt and I watching. He was playing guitar to the Guns n Roses song, Patience. He tried to do the whistle at the beginning but couldn’t, and he was laughing at himself. My mom tried after him, he couldn’t either. So they played Good Riddance by Green Day instead.

How Bruce will be missed

The friendship, love, music, and laughter.

How Bruce will be remembered

Uncle Bruce aka Brucey would like to be remembered as a hard working man who loved his family, friends, life, and music. He would want others to work to keep his happy memories alive.
