Bruce was one of the "Cetronia boys" as a student at PHS. I graduated 1 year later. He was truly a heckuva nice guy.
RIP , or as they say in the old country: "Schlaf in Ruhe!"

Bruce, may our good Lord take you to a place of refreshment, light, and peace. And thanks for the many, many happy memories that you helped create in the early 1970s when you were a football coach and I was an equipment manager.
