I knew Bruce as a Scout, and later as a very close friend.  He joined the Orthodox Presbyterian Church to which I belonged, and he became my best friend at that time. He used to come to my home after the evening church service and spend time with me and my wife. I miss him to this day. I know that we will be together when I go to be with the Lord. He was interred at the military cemetary at Point Loma. There is a plaque with his name on it in the lawn of the War Memorial Building.  Bruce was very close to his family.
