I found this touching. This a copy of an e-mail from my daughter-in-law Linda, Kevin's wife. They live in Atlanta with their two little girls, Keira now 3 1/2 and Lacey 1 1/2. This was sent yesterday 1-20-09 just after President Obama gave his acceptance speech. This is almost 1 1/2 years after Bruce's passing. Below Keira referrs to Bruce as Grandpa. I quote Linda's e-mail, "Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you what Keira said today. Keira was standing beside me and we were watcching the Inauguaration on TV and the president had just gotten sworn in. I was all caught up in the moment and was a little misty eyed when Keira pointed at the TV and said, "Is Grandpa in there?" It was so out of the blue and it took me by surprise. I pulled her over and put my arm around her and said, What do you mean honey? Then she pointed at the TV again and said," "Is that Heaven?" I (Donna) think Obamas whole presidency is bringing the world together like we have never seen before. Young children are the closest to God. Out of the mouths of babes! Keira was only two when Bruce passed on. How could she remember him? Then Linda closes with, "I believe Bruce sends us messages that he is still with us...I believe this was one of them." She signs off, "With Love, Linda"

Donna, I didn't know there was a place to put my feelings into words until you told me about this site recently. Bruce was extra special to me. As my cousin and the only kid in the family when I was born, he had a major impact on me. I have that same steel trap memory he does and I attribute that to the hours he spent teaching me all the Detroit Tigers, positions and RBI's when I was only two or three. It was like flash cards only more fun. Bruce coined the word fordaceedum which makes me laugh even now. My Dad and Bruce were more like brothers than cousins. They had a bond that is now eternal. You can bet the farm that they will be at Indy this year in the grandstand, eating ham and swiss cheese sandwiches, washed down with a cold beer, and laughing and talking over the many good times that were woven into a blanket of memories that we can wrap ourselves in and take comfort from. I miss you Bukey! Cheryl

After first finding out about the loss of Bruce, I received calls and follow-up calls from friends, both those who knew Bruce well, and those who had never met him. The reason for the extra concern was that anyone who knows me, knows Bruce. Even those friends who never had the opportunity to know Bruce, knew him through me. That is because Bruce had a tremendously powerful positive impact on me, as hid did on so many others. Bruce could raise my spirits when I was down. He could inspire me when apathy was all I could feel. If things seemed bad, he could always point out the positives of the situation. The positives are always there. We just have to look for them. But it wasn't just me. I've seen Bruce help others who were truly in desperate need, people who didn't have food to eat or a place to stay. I never knew Bruce to judge anyone except himself. I miss you Bruce. I will always miss you. I pray that somehow, some way, Donna, Tammy, Kevin, Gary, your mother, the Brockman's and all of those who so deeply love you, will feel your happy spirit. And I pray that I will one day see you again in heaven. May God bless all of us. With Love, Tom

Dad, words will never be able to express how much I miss you. From the jokes and the smiles to your constant words of encouragement and the sense of joy and kindness that you effortlessly brought to everyone in your presence. You and mom sacrificed so many things for the support of your family and children, and for all of those things I will forever be grateful. Sixty Four years just seem all too few. My heart aches at the thought of us all not being able to spend more time with you, but it breaks at the thought that Keira and Lacey will never really know my father, their grandfather, who was such a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many. We still ask Keira “What Does a Gump Say”, to which she loudly exclaims: “Ah HA!” And Keira loves to sing “Old MacDonald”. Linda has recently expanded the song and there is a new soul on the farm now: “Old MacDonald had a Farm E-I-E-I-O and on his farm he had a “Gump”, E-I-E-I-O With an “Ah Ha” here and an “Ah Ha” there Here an “Ah”, there a “Ha”, everywhere an “Ah Ha” Old MacDonald Had a Farm E-I-E-I-O” Keira Thinks that is absolutely hillarious. She laughs gleefully every time we sing it, as do we just becuase of hearing her laugh. She absolutely loves it and we know you would too. A perfect tribute, we think. I miss you dad, and Love you dearly. So very, very…Much…Right. Kevin

Bruce, The last eleven days friends and loved ones have shown me, almost hourly how truly blessed I've been during our forty three years together. Our children have been my loving rock and support, getting me through this difficult time without you. I was so proud to see your courage and love shine through each as they calmly spoke at your celebration. Tammy, Kevin and Gary, each in their own way, elaborated on the Love that you are, not only to them, but everyone you ever met. The husband of one of my fellow Realtors, who was at your service, summed up the common thread that ran throughout your life and the service. He said "I never even met Bruce Scott but my life will be changed forever after being at his ceremony." His wife said he got up this A.M. and cheerfully announced "I'm going out to have a Bruce Scott day." Hon it's obviou your still tremendously impacting lives with your energy and presence, as it radiates through all those who where fortunate enough to even hear about you, and your message of love and peace.I love you very, very much.......Donna

Sharing in your loss and remembering you in my thoughts and prayers, knowing the special love the Lord can give will comfort you. With Deepest Sympathy, Judy Voller I first met Bruce in a psychology class at Mott College in the fall of 1961. Then you both worked at "Golden Point". I remember the early days of your marriage--your first apartment and your first house. I remember that when Jerry died [May 13, 1988] I went with my sister & her family to a hardware convention which was held in June at the Opryland Hotel and you both came and visited with me--that was greatly appreciated.

I had the privlege of working with Bruce at Verizon. He was fun to work with. Despite his health problems, Bruce managed to come to work everyday with a smile on his face and happy upbeat mood. Bruce always had a delightful way of interjecting humor even in the most dire of circumstances. I'm sure all those he came in contact with was left with a wonderful impression of a 'gentle giant' who laughed a lot and went above and beyond the call of duty to help any way he could. Life is full of unexpected turns and treasures and I shall remember Bruce with his smile and love for family whom he spoke of often. My heartfelt sympathy for his family/friends with a true belief he is only "away" until you meet him again in God's kingdom! God bless you and may God give you strength during this difficult time.
