I have known and loved Bruce since I was 8 years old. Growing up across the street from this kind friendly loving man was a treat. If we ever needed anything we would run across the street and the Portnoy's were always there for us. We were heartbroken when you moved. My parents really missed having you there everyday. I know his memory will be for a blessing. My sincere condolences to all the family. Hugs.

May his memory be for a blessing.
