I knew Bruce through work at the Department of Transportation. I didn't work directly with him but got to meet him. I found out that he went to North Charleston High School by his front license plate on his car. I graduated there too. We shared memories. His mother taught me in elementary school! We both were Vietnam vets and shared memories.
My wife and I will miss him.
