Bruce reeled us in and landed us in his friendship net years back when he kayaked the Salmon River in Idaho with his son Chris's family
Instantly, he became a dear friend who humbly shared his wealth of knowledge in all things great and small.
Oh how will miss Janet's letters to share that "Bruce will be on our next trip down the River of No Return!"
He shared his love of reading with us and recommended the next great book to add to our backcountry library shelves.
Fully immersed in every endeavor, he was one with nature, present for every miracle, always seeing the best that Mother Earth provided to inspire awe and gratitude to "those who see".
His witty humor! Bruce was the sort of person that made your cheeks hurt for all the smiles and laughter shared.
We felt so lucky to have shared blips of time with Bruce; wanting for more of them, but savoring all the meaningful encounters till the next time we'd be sharing river-wet hugs.
Our hearts go out to his bride Eveline, and all the family and friends who were lucky enough to share space and time with such a man.
Grief is surely Love's souvenir.
And Bruce will remain a treasured keepsake.
Our deepest sympathies,
Sue and Greg
