The past year Janet was able to join Bruce in his travels, enjoying every moment together. Bruce loved traveling and his jobs delivering expedited freight gave him the chance to enjoy our beautiful country. Bruce served others in many different capacities. He loved Jesus and wanted to share God’s love. His talent was providing wonderful meals for others, especially those in need. He cooked meals for Room in the Inn. He made several mission trips to the Appalachian Mountains where he cooked for all the construction volunteers. In addition, he filled his 22ft. truck with food, supplies and mattresses for those in need. He continued his service to others by cooking meals for the East Nashville Tornado Victims and the homeless. At a young age, growing up in Akron Ohio, Bruce became a Boy Scout which would lead to a lifelong affiliation with the organization. Later in life he became a Scout Master at Troop 133 in Hendersonville, TN and under his leadership he had the privilege of guiding seven young men to become an Eagle Scout.
