During these unprecedented times we're asking the community come together to help his family.Just 3 days before Christmas he leaves behind his loving wife of over 30 years Dori . Two beautiful daughters Kristi and Jami . Eight grand children Cami,Ella,Avery,Cash,Lennon,Julian,Roman and baby ❄️.

We will all miss you Bruce.❤️
