Leave a tribute for Bruce Allan Mace.
Bruce I know you're more at peace now and no pain. I've loved you ever since I married James and became a Mace too. I've been a Mace longer than I was a Cook. You were a wonderful person and missed by all. BI know James is glad to have you there with him your Mom and Dad. I love and miss all of you. I'm sorry Karl and Ron that I wasn't able to come for services. My love always.
Bruce was a good friend throughout our years together at Salem and WPCC. I have lots of fond memories being in many classes with him, and of his signature of BAM! We kept in touch all these years by sending Christmas Cards with written messages each year. This way of staying in touch will be sorely missed. Rest in peace old friend.

So sorry about Bruce passing. Bruce and I went to school together and I had not seen him in years, I knew all the family. Bruce and James are together again, Karl and Ronnie again I sorry for your loss.
We first met Bruce at Baxter Healthcare. He became a very good friend to us. Bruce worked very hard on his job. We are going to miss the trip we called "Let's see Bruce". Prayers for all the family.
Sad to hear this, Ron and family you are in our prayers. God will give you comfort and peace. We love you.
In our brief acquaintance at church attendance Bruce always welcomed a hug and greeting with brotherly affection. At Autumn Care he also enjoyed conversation even when aware that my hearing was not the best , but it warmed my heart to know that he treasured our time together and our Father blessed us both. He always welcomed a prayer removing his hat in respect to his Lord and Savior. I am looking forward to being in the presence of our Father together. Oh the indescribable joy and peace forevermore my brother.
We are so very sorry for your ,there are many great memories we have of Bruce. May God bless your family and give you peace as you go thru this difficult time .We will keep your family in our prayers.
I was so lucky to have this special man in my life. He was a brother, a cousin. He was family. I will dearly miss you Bruce Mace....
