I worked with Bruce back in 1980s when I was a ACO for Kent County Sheriff Department (Animal Control Officer). He was always friendly and kept telling me to better myself. I went on to become a Federal Law Enforcement Officer and retired in 2015 after 30 years of service. He was a good man and fine officer. Sorry it took so long to Honor him. Thank you Bruce for pushing me!! Rest in God’s arms for eternity.
