We prayed to God for how grateful and lucky we are to have such a good father. Bruce was a simple man who liked deep-sea fishing, taking care of the people that he loved, and a true man of Christian faith and practiced those values every moment of hislife.A good man was lost but today Heaven gained another angel.Bruce grew up in a house of love and tradition and respect and it made him the best father I could’ve ever hoped for and their will forever be a void in the hearts of anyone who knew him let alone loved him because he was irreplaceable and special beyond compare.To fulfill the last wishes of the best father in the world he has requested to be cremated and therefore arrangements have been made at National Cremation Burial Society. His final wishes were to be cremated and have his ashes taken out to the ocean to rest his soul as it is the place where he felt the most happiness. A true fisherman to the end and a light in a dark world gone too soon. I love you daddy and I hope you’re free now fishing to your souls content. Thank you for being the best daddy ever and I promise to never let you down. So if you would like to visit him, simply go to any beach and as a man in such strong faith I have no doubts he will hear you even all the way from heaven.
