My condolences to Cousin Bob and all Bruce’s friends and relatives. Living in Michigan, I only had a few contacts with Bruce over the years, but they were memorable due to his good nature and story telling ability. The most memorable, and my favorite, was his telling about his honeymoon and intentionally running out of gas with his new car. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to put gas in the new can in the trunk!
Bruce and the Mayfair Hardware store were known far and wide, as evidenced by my experience a couple years ago in the Joshua Tree National Park. While parked, I notice a couple in a car with Saskatchewan plates. When they said they were from Saskatoon, I said I had relatives there and mentioned my cousin, Bruce, who owned the Mayfair Hardware store. They immediately said they knew it well and that it was their favorite hardware store.
Bruce, Elaine, and the Mayfair will be missed by many.
