Sincere condolences from Jess and I.
So sad when I was told by Barry that Bruce had passed. Every time I was home in Cromwell we would go and see him and sometimes with fresh cooked Bluecod that my brother Mark caught and told me how to cook it... Bruce wouldn´t let me give it to the kitchen to cook... I won´t use his words... Bruce is sorely missed.
