Bruce was a very nice man and supervisor at Heartland. He was soft-spoken at work, always trying to be helpful and supportive. He let us do our jobs without seeking recognition for himself.

So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I worked with him at Heartland and he was always so easy to work for. He was able to step back and trust that we would get the job done, but was always supportive and available when we needed him.

Lois and Family:
We were saddened to learn of Bruce's passing. It seems a lifetime ago that we shared the neighborhood at Sheldon, Iowa.
Our youngest son, Brandon, now teaches in the Ankeny Middle School System. Hopefully, when we are in your fair city, we will attempt to make contact with you and reminisce about better days.
Please know that our sympathies are with your and your family.
Everett and June
