Bruce's daughter

To whomever posted that message, thank you. Although my dad hadn't been active on this site for a few years since his stroke in 2007, he remained passionate about many of the struggles Pickerington faces. My dad and I had many entertaining discussions about this website.

And to those of you who supported my dad during his few years in local politics, thank you.

our sympathy

Our Sympathy to your family and thank you for visiting the site. Bruce's insight and unfailing optimism will be missed in our community very, very much.

I always enjoyed everything he posted so much as his intelligence and attention to detail was admirable and I especially enjoyed his last non de plume and he and I had quite a laugh when I figured it out!
