Bruce was so very special to my son, Adam Thompson. "Mr. Lynch" helped in Adam's classrooms for several years in Wapak. Bruce and your mom even called Adam when he was in the hospital! We often speak of Mr. Lynch fondly. He will be missed. What a great man! May God be with you all during the difficult days ahead.

I knew your dad and mom from coming into the dentist office where I worked for 17 years. I always looked forward to seeing them because they were very caring towards one another and all people. They were both always so kind and and expressed their faith in Jesus Christ in our conversations.. I'm sure you are looking forward to meeting them one day in heaven. Paul would keep me updated on how his dad was doing. May your family be filled with God's peace and special memories of Bruce during this time of mourning his death. We are praying for his loved ones. Laura and Steve Heitz
