He was an avid old engine collector and loved to restore them until he lost his sight, but loved to hear them run and enjoyed engine and tractor shows. Bruce was a proud member of Christiansburg Pentecostal Holiness Church (now Harbor of Hope) for many years. He enjoyed helping make apple butter with the members, which reminded him of life as a boy at home. He and wife Letha loved listening to gospel music, and many times opened their home for fellowship, meals, and lodging to visiting gospel singing groups such as the Hopper Brothers and Connie. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the nurses, staff and employees of the Radford Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for the loving care and attention given to him during his stay.
