Beginning in 1970, and continuing then in ways so numerous, we can write a book of events, names, places, filled with emotion There are so many years the Brannon family has been in our prayers. And the friendship foundation of our love for all of you children of the clan continues easily today.
We kept Bruce fresh in our company by visiting South (Alabama coast) after we sold our Covington place in 2008. And so we often heard stories of your lives.
May Jean and Bruce embrace in the way God has planned,
I first meet Bruce when I built my home in Lacombe Harbor 14 years ago, living just down the street from him. His wife was equally a special person, but she eventually became ill and passed away. I am saddened by the loss of my friend but I know he is happy to join his wife, as I know it has been a difficult road without his lifetime partner. Bruce was a person of integrity, high moral and ethical standards and cared so much in helping his community. Bruce was a Captain in the Lacombe Fire Department and even after he reitired, he never really retired, as he loved helping people and the Lacombe Fire Department family. We worked together in helping solve some problems at the department years ago, as he was committed to a department of integrity and excellent service. I learned so much from Bruce and everytime we would be together, I would quiz him to learn even more. He would love to tease my wife because of her heavy NY accent. When Linda and I sold our house in Lacombe this past April, Bruce was one the people I missed the most. It was an honor to know Bruce and his wonderful wife. Although I will miss my friend, I know in my heart he is happy now that he can be with his love! RIP Brother and thanks for your friendship and memories shared.
Bruce was a quality individual who loved the Lord and I know seeing what he sees at this moment he would not return to us even if he could have good health and all the money in the world. Look for me at the house brother.
The Easter Lane parties. His wonderful laugh. The fact that he and Karl shared a birthday. It was fun following on facebook, especially during football season. Fondly, Karl and Mary Ann Lindberg
