    I work at Orchard Cove and worked with Bruce for many years. I was always struck by Bruce’s consistent willingness to help at any time. He was so friendly and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed seeing and chatting with him as he worked throughout the Orchard Cove Building. I will miss his friendly face and smile.

    I worked with Bruce for many years at orchard cove and am a Mansfield resident. Bruce was always kind and helpful and very caring. I always enjoyed chatting with him. I will never forget him driving behind me after a work function to make sure I got home safely because I had a cocktail or two. Just a great man who will be missed by many,



  20. Patricia and Marina on April 19, 2019 at 10:28 am

    We will miss our very dear and beautiful friend, Bruce forever, we were so privileged to have worked with him for many years. It’s hard to think of Orchard Cove without him; when we walk through the hallways we will miss seeing him there rushing around and helping so many. Our hearts are broken. While we think of Bruce, we can’t but think of Linda and keep her in our prayers and thoughts.
    Marina and Patricia.
