Bruce, has been, first a person I admired for doing the right thing in a difficult banking circumstance being guilty of doing too much for others. To second a man of his word, even when it wasn’t easy or convenient. Third when I was sick for most of a year his was a call and a friendly conversation I could count on enjoy and will very much miss. In the past few years it has been my opportunity to count Bruce among my friends a man of integrity a man we will miss and a man the world needs more of.. my sympathies and condolences for your huge loss. May you find comfort as you move forward. Brad Peterson
