Bruce David Friesner, 78, succumbed to heart failure and has passed away. As I write this tonight, I realize how fortunate we were to have Bruce as a chosen member of our family for generations. My parents loved and respected him so much. Our families were truly inseparable. Always together on holidays and special occasions. I have known Bruce and his loving Wife, Renee, since I was a teen, for more than 40 years of my life and he and his family have been an integral part of my sons lives since before they were born and remain so even today. There are not words to express Bruce’s influence on all our lives.
Bruce was hardworking, strong willed, loving, and kind. He loved his family and was deeply devoted to his Wife, Renee and his son, Michael. In June of 1979 when Michael was born, I naturally and excitedly became his babysitter. Bruce and Renee always made me feel confident to care for him as family, as we all still do, especially today.
Bruce lived an inspired life full of travel and adventure. He showed strength and love right up until his last days. We will miss him dearly and daily. He will remain forever in our hearts.
