Bruce was an amazing man and the greatest father. He loved to ride his Harley, and I have so many memories of sitting in the garage watching him work on his bike, impatiently waiting for him to take me for a ride. I would cry every time he started that bike it was so loud although I knew it was coming, the sound of it firing up would scare me everytime. My father lived, n fought for his life, for his children. He knew his illness was fatal, and we'd soon live without him by our side. And despite his health declining rapidly, and his energy fading, every single day he spent playing and laughing with us, filling the short time he had left with memories of him, we'd cherish and never forget. My father played acoustic guitar and sang. Every night my brother and I would pile on to his waterbed in his room, and he would play and sing our favorite song, "Take It Easy" by the eagles. 24 years later, I can still close my eyes and go back to the 6 year old daddy's little girl I was n I can see him playing his guitar for us, I can still hear him sing those words, I can still feel him right beside me. I love you dad! I know you're still with me, and everyday is another day closer to you. I hope i make you proud. Fly high with the angels daddy
