was saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. I dealt with Bruce for many years in my place of business in Carlisle. He was
always a gentleman and a pleasure to interact with. He would often talk about his profession, and he seemed passionate about
it. I'll never forget the time he brought me a generous sampling of product that he sold through his company. He took
the time to explain how to prepare the food, and I recall enjoying it thoroughly. Bruce was a genuine, down-to-earth fellow.
He would often talk about his family during our conversations, and it was clear to see that he was dedicated to his loved
ones. Bruce had my utmost admiration. My deepest condolences go out to Judy and the family. Mark Boggs
