I have know Bruce for many years! We graduated HS together and over the years have crossed paths and it was always great to catch up with him every time!
May he RIP
Our hearts goes out to Bruce's family for your loss. Like Dave Harwood, we are part of Bruce's Tara family. Dave has done a great job of keeping us connected over the years. We visited Bruce 2 years ago at his home in Boca Raton. To say we had a lot of fun catching up would be an understatement. Being with Bruce in his cigar box guitar creating workshop and hearing about his adventures will remain a special day in our lives. We have one of his bass guitars from that visit. Photos to follow. Bruce's love of music and his music family was everything to him. Danny, he proudly shared your music with his friends. Our hope for his family and friends is that Bruce continues to bring a smile to your face and love in your heart. Bruce will be missed. ME & JD Detwiler (517)980-9500
I first met Bruce back at “Tara” in Okemos, MI. I’ve stayed in touch for the past 50 years. Great guy, lots of fun. Only fond memories. Lately a group of Tara alumni (including Bruce) have been involved in a very active group text reminiscing about old times. When Bruce went silent, I feared the worst. I would love to hear from someone in the family who could let me know what happened. My name is Dave Harwood. 314-853-6662. He will be missed!
