Bruce Sr., and all of the Burton family, I don’t know all of you personally, but we share and understand your loss and pain. Such a bright and gifted soul, gone too soon, a loss that will be with you for too long. Please share in his joy and not in his loss. May God share his peace with all of you.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Burton Family. I have known Bruce for 30 years. He was a great guy, smart, witty and could always make me smile. I learned a great deal from him in our business. There was about 10 years when we didn't work for the same company, but I recently joined Plymouth Building Products and he came to Springfield to train me, and it was as though those 10 years never happened. We just picked up where we had left off, sharing memories from the past. He will be sorely missed. Gone but not forgotten, my friend

Bruce was a man that enjoyed the finer things in life. He was a true gentleman with a soft heart. Ill miss his ability to provide a humorous perspective in all things. Rest in peace, Bruiser.

Bruce will be remembered for his infectious laugh and zeal for a job done well. Although we didn't meet in person, I appreciated the business interactions we shared to accomplish some goals for Plymouth. Bruce will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bruce's family.

Bruce and Mary Frances, We were so sorry to hear of the death of your son. We were in college at U of A with you two. Bob and Bruce had classes together in pre-med and Mary Frances and I were freshmen at Fulbright Hall. Sorry that we lost contact over the years but this touched us in that we have children about the same age. Our thoughts are with you during this sad time.

So very sad to hear of Bruce's passing. There are no words I know of to comfort you in the loss of a child but know everyone is praying for you. I always appreciated "Little" Bruce's humor and advice. May peace be with you.

My heart is broken. I only knew you a short time but you will forever be in my heart. You had the sweetest eyes and the most charming smile. You were such a bright spot, so funny and joyful. I loved your love for Christ and all things good. You were loyal, compassionate, caring and giving. I just knew I would see you again. I miss you so much.
You and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May perpetual light shine upon you and may you rest in peace.
All my love

My deepest sympathy to the family and many friends of Bruce. I haven't known him probably near as long as most of you, but in the time I have known him (since becoming a working colleague) he became a true friend and not just a business acquaintance. He was always smiling, happy, joking, teasing and just a pleasure to be around. He talked a lot about his dog and family and how much he loved his job. He truly is one of those people that you meet in life and you're a better person for it. I'll miss his laugh and his ability to make me smile in the midst of chaos. My prayers to all affected by his loss. Gone way too soon, but never forgotten.....
