I can't believe it has been 10 freakin years! It feels like it has gone by fast and yet painfully slow at the same time. My mind is flooded with memories of working with you but even more so from knowing you and your lovely family during my childhood. The agency and Town will never be the same without you and we will surely never have a better Santa! Ha!
Praying for peace in your family's hearts everyday but especially today. Love you Bruce!

Bruce, you were a great guy and an inspiration to all of us. You touched so many lives in Jupiter and the Northern Palm Beach County area. You were, in so many ways, just what a cop should be; tough, compassionate, caring and brave to name a few.
Know that losing you touched all of us very profoundly and even those of us in surrounding agencies will cherish your memory and friendship for the rest of our lives.

Bruce, you were such a great guy and an inspiration to us all. Your positive attitude, your smile, your friendly ways and your dedication to the community was just remarkable. Your funeral procession was about 14 miles long. They even shipped in motors from California Highway Patrol for you. You were the ultimate motorman.
When you knew someone for a long time you tend to forget what they did years ago. I had forgotten about the volunteer work you did building houses for the poor through Habitat for Humanity.
I know all the town kids you played Santa for on your motor every year are going to miss you.
Your death hit us all like a ton of bricks. It is a phone call I will never forget.
Rest assured that you will be missed. You will never be forgotten. Your legacy in Jupiter is huge and will live on for ages.
R.I.P. We have the watch from here.

Rest in peace.
