January 13, 2017 at 6:34 pmOur thoughts and prayers are with the entire Service Family. I spent a number of my childhood years growing up right next door to Bruce and Jernein and the kids. Bruce was a good man. He kinda of scared me when I was really young but eventually I learned that he was a big Teddy Bear. I worked for him a couple times cleaning up when he was working on houses. On one of those jobs Bruce had the radio up loud and was singing and dancing around to Donavon’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man”. I thought he was a pretty cool guy after that….
Love to Jernein and the family. I am sorry we are out of town but you are in our thoughts.
