In the most recent email, we were asked to tell about our first meeting of Bruce, our first impressions, and if they had changed over time.  I first met Bruce over 45 years ago, when I was dating his brother Gary, and Bruce was often a third when we went out for dinner, and when Bruce would visit the office where both Gary and I worked.  I liked Bruce instantly for his ready smile and laugh and his gentle uncomplaining nature.  Gary and I parted ways a few years later, but re-connected about 12 years ago and had our first trip to Bruce and Nora's house at the lake.  When I saw Bruce again, it was like being transported back in time - he hadn't changed a bit (hair a little whiter?), but he was the same Bruce I had known 45 years ago.  It was wonderful to hear that laugh again!!!!

I remember his easy-going nature, wonderful smile and laugh, and to accept what life throws at you. Nora, Debbie, Ron and Troy - I think of you often and am so very sorry I was not able to attend Bruce's memorial. I regret that very much, but had a prior commitment I could not get out of.

Dear Nora, Debbie, Troy and Ron. We were sooooo shocked when we heard of Bruce’s passing.  I can’t imagine what you all went through, it was way too early and too fast.  I’m so sorry we are not able to be there for Bruce’s celebration of life but we were there for a good part of his living life.  We enjoyed so many dinners at each others homes for so many years and had so much fun with our drinks in hand at the lake. 

Bruce, you were one of a kind and we can’t wait to have a drink at the lake again with you later  

Love to you all

Beth and Maurice Roche

My deepest condolences to the Adams family, I had the pleasure of working with Bruce and Nora. Bruce left such a large hole in my Walmart visits. I will always hear his voice ring out “get back to work!” While I was talking about dogs or grandchildren with his beloved Nora. What a true love story they will continue to hold. Your dad is missed by a lot of people and I am fortunate to be one of them

Dear Nora and the entire Adams Family - Mike and I were saddened to hear of your loss. We send our love and prayers to you at this time. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the 'Celebration of a beautiful Life' this Saturday. 

Nora and I share many memories of family and friends and hope that if there is anything that you need you will reach out.

With Love Denyse and Michael

Our sincerest condolences to our dear friends Troy and Stephanie and to the entire Adams family. We are sorry that we will not be able to attend this celebration of a beautiful life lived but we will be keeping you all in our thoughts as you honor your beloved father. Hugs and love from Julia and Paul Vozza and family.

We send our deepest sympathy to our dear friend Nora, and her family on the loss of our friend, Bruce (a husband and a father). Although I (June) grew up with Bruce and Nora, my husband David didn't get to meet them until later. We moved to Vancouver in 1981, and so did not see Bruce and Nora nearly enough through the years. Mostly we saw them when we were all visiting at Linda and Chuck's home. They did visit us in Vancouver once and that was special. Bruce was a very nice man, a good man  - easy to be with, easy to like. We are sure he will be dearly missed by his family and all those who were fortunate enough to know him. Please know that even though we cannot be with you at his celebration of life - you will all be in our thoughts.

With love,

June & David
