My dad was not someone who could always say what needed to be said , or to give wise advice to help guide us . instead he taught us with his actions and his sense of humor , like how he made little scrap books of our lives growing up for a Christmas gift. Or wrapping a jar of peanut butter up for your birthday, with a spoon taped to it lol. Or even little notes for you growing up reminding you of chores or a news paper laying open to the roommates wanted page with ones you could afford, circled in red! A hint i had over stayed my welcome lol. 
He always showed how much he cared in such special and unique ways.  I am so going to miss all these things. I wonder if he knew the impact such little things would have. I try to do the same but I will never live up to him. 
I love you Dad. 
You have been and always will be an inspiration to me. 

We are very sad to hear of Bruce's passing.  I worked with Bruce at the bus company and Bruce was also our daughter Mindy's bus driver.  Bruce was one of Mindy's FAVORITE drivers and Bruce loved to tease her.  One of my favorite stories was when Bruce told her he really liked the boat in our driveway and he would come over later and he wanted her Dad to help him hook it up so he could bring it home with him.  Bruce came to work and he would be laughing when he told me the story.  We are sending prayers to Bruce's family for strength and healing.  Our family will miss his smile and sense of humor.  Deb, Greg,  Andrea, Mindy & Katie Fuller

Jessica,Jared,and Chad with their
much loved father.

Life changes so quickly...
My heart will never be the same.
Praise God that our Redeemer lives. And with Him there is life EVERLASTING!!


Prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family. With deepest sympathies, Dave Phillips and family.
