Deb, Carolyn & family, Steve & I are so sorry we could not attend Bruce's services. Honestly, I'm glad I will always remember his crooked little smile & his little squinty eyes that sparkled when you told him something funny. He was such a good friend & we liked him from the very first time we met him. We will miss him dearly and think of him often. We know he'll be in a better & pain free place & he'll always be in our hearts. If any of you need anything please call. 304- 748-8394 Take care Deb

I am sorry for the loss to the Smith family. Please accept my condolences. He will always be "chickenhawk on a superhawk' to me. The first time I met Bruce he was riding in the toolbox on his dad's tractor when they tractored over to help my grandfather and my dad with spring plowing for our garden. Friends ever since. That was a long time ago.
