Everyone that met Bruce recognized him as a special person. He shared his beautiful singing voice with many people over his short time here on earth. He was generous to others often coming up with a surprise gift that was not expected. One of his favorite hobbies was to follow "Hollywood" often talking about the latest star he had met at one the shows he attended. Bruce will be missed by many. Bruce loved his cats so much he would like any donations, in lieu of flowers, be made to any animal shelter of choice.

A memorial service will be held 3 p.m. Friday at Flora Funeral Chapel with Chaplain Rick Poland officiating. His family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at Flora Funeral Service and Cremation Center, Rocky Mount.
