Bruce taught me and many other young men with out know it, integrity, honesty, and how to do the best I could. I am proud to have known him and proud to have worked along side of him on repair projects he was confident I could help him with. He could also teach you how to days work.

I remember going to Bruce's house with my dad. They would chat about excavating and work they were doing. I rode the same school bus as the kids. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

I met Bruce shortly after moving to Glenn about 18 years ago. I needed some grading done at my house. Bruce came with his air conditioned bull dozer. After grading and clearing a large yard for me, he returned with his tractor and rototiller attachment. When finished with that, he came back with a spring drag. When he was finished, I had a great yard, but, more importantly, a real friend. RIP Bruce and God speed to a truly great human being.

Every rep had a favorite customer; Bruce was mine! Bruce was more than a good customer. I so enjoyed our many conversations; pricing, service, quality and satisfaction as it pertained to almost everything. Equipt, people, family, friends, politics, religion, recreation, roads, whatever! We enjoyed providing opinions along with a lot of laughs. My condolences to Barb and family. May God grant you all His peace and comfort with blessings from above! I'm so thankful to have enjoyed and known Bruce L. Black.

Barb, Dan, Bob and Becky: Where do I even begin. So many memories and stories, although I know my dad and Bruce had many more stories!! I always enjoyed talking with Bruce and what a sense of humor! I will keep an eye out for a memorial later this year as I would like to come. May God hold you all tight in His arms and give you comfort and strength when the memories aren't enough. And what great memories you have! All my love. Mary

I will miss Bruce so very much. He was like a brother to me. I always looked forward to spending time with him....no matter what we were doing.....working together, riding around the countryside, having lunch or talking on the phone.

My memories of Bruce Black go back to my childhood. He was my dad's friend for at least fifty years that I can remember. Dad has lost a wonderful friend. My thoughts are with your family at this time.
