Survived By:

One of the saddest days in my life. Bruce was one of my best friends.

The things Bruce stood for

And everything he meant-

Because of these reasons

We know he was truly Heaven sent.

He was around when we needed him

And made time for his friends.

He helped us with each problem

Which seemed to have no end.

He loved his religion

And spread the word in a style

That God knew he would need

In just a short while.

He did crazy little things

Like "Rudy Zorgo" and Sherriff Bruce".

These memories we'll remember

For they're too precious to lose.

Even though his body's gone

And he's no longer in sight

Remember his happiness and smiles

And how he made everything seem all right.
