Early this morning, Bruce, with about two months left to live with his cancer, started his videotaped farewell with a quote from Ecclesiastes, “To every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.”

He wanted to create a meaningful goodbye to his loved ones, and to talk about the moments that had shaped their lives…to leave a history.

He wanted his family to find comfort in his final words.

He talked about his childhood, his family travels, and his first bicycle.

He talked about meeting his wife…the love of his life.

He talked about his children and all his grandchildren.

And when it was all over he sat with a cane in his hand and laughed a hearty laugh.

“Oh there are so many stories I didn’t tell.”
