Dear Sandra, Lance and Brent,
I was saddened to see the loss of another of my Whirlpool co-workers. I see that we worked at Whirlpool over about the same years. Sometime in the 70´s, I first worked with Bruce when he was at Findlay Division. Later, it was great that you moved to Michigan and we would work together again. Our kids knew each other at school. Even though he was an Ohio boy, he somehow found the Traverse City area of Michigan where I grew up. I was really surprised to run into you at Short´s Brewery in Bellaire. Later, I found out that we both would be in Traverse City, so I arranged to pick you up at your Bed and Breakfast and give you the ten cent tour of the places there where I grew up. I hope you were able to visit there many times and other places during your retirement. I lost my wife two years ago. Life will be hard without Bruce, but I pray that you can carry on with the support of your family and friends.

I worked with Bruce early in my career. He provided wisdom and a positive tone to all that came our way. His light will be missed in this world. My condolences to his family, who he often spoke fondly of.
