The only time i got a break at the Dairy Queen many years ago was when Uncle Bruce came in for an ice cream cone and the owners let me sit down with him and talk to him when he was there.

Sorry to hear about the death of Bruce, he was very helpful to me here in Florida while my husband Richard LeRoy (his brother) was dying of lung cancer. He was a very caring man and will be missed by all. Barbara LeRoy

We at American Legion Post 501 will sincerely miss Bruce at our Post meetings. He was always regular when his health permitted and attended other events also. We salute him and thank him for his service to God and country keeping us free. Rest in peace Bruce and God bless.
