Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have great memories of baling hay and putting up silage with Bruce. When I got old enough to drive the silage wagon Bruce would sometimes cover me with silage. He will be missed by so many.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Bruce made it possible for us to have a float in the CPA picnic last summer for the 1963 class reunion. He let us use his trailer and even had it hooked up to a pickup for us. A very giving and loving man, Eudora will be a empty place without him.

If every human would live their life like Bruce did, the world would be a much better place. Thank you, God, for giving us Bruce in Eudora where he touched so many people and brought so much happiness to every person he met. Bonnie,Richard, Aaron--May you be comforted and reach out to all of your friends and let us give back some of the blessings Bruce freely and always gave to us. Linda Bock

Butch was one of the nicest, jolliest guys I've ever met. Even when he was feeling bad, he would get a smile a say something good. He always waved when I would pass him on the road, or go out of his way stop and talk when he had time or when he was on a job where I was. We used to talk and eat with him and John when they trucked together and they would stop at 19th & Haskell or Eudora to eat, always asking how my wife was doing,after she fell ill, spending 8.5 months in hospitals and ended up paralyzed. He always asked if there was anything he could do. He always got my spirits up when I was down. I know I will miss his kind words & jolly face. Eudora and the world have lost a great kind soul. We'll miss you buddy.

Bonnie and family....please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers in a special way at this difficult time. Bruce was a generous, giving man who be missed by all whose lives he touched. I will always remember his welcoming friendly gentle manner. The world lost his physical presence but all who knew and loved him gained an awesome 'angel' to watch over them from on high. God Bless You All and Rest in Peace Bruce.
