Hello my name is Chad Thomas if any family members that knew Bruce E. Kerr please give me a call 260 418 8812
I had volunteered with Bruce for a summer at the local food shelf. Bruce had told me, “within a minute of talking to someone, you’ll know what kind of person they are.” Within the first minute of talking with Bruce, I knew what kind of man he was – a kind-hearted, genuine, caring, and endlessly generous human-being with a boundless passion for life and people. I loved his stories about his days as a carnival worker and hearing about his band the “Soupy Bones”. He truly lived life. I only knew him for a short while, but I’ll remember him forever.
What a sweetheart! Always a smile his face and a twinkle in his eye… a thoughtful card at the holidays just to say thank you for being you…. I’m going to miss you Bruce, Rest in peace you will live on in my memories for sure!
So Bruce is not able to physically be here I know if he could he would be, enjoying People and LIFE ! there are those who lovingly jump in feet first My friend Bruce went in Head first or he just said NO and that was it for that …. 🙂 he was brilliant with art and decoration this showed even in his writing if he could he gave and he helped and if you knew how to do something he did not want to do and did something for him he was always thankful I miss Bruce he accepted people I worked with Bruce at the Food shelf also and he added a simple task to the bucket list Put the Kayak into the Mississippi at a point that he liked below the stone bridge The only thing stopping me is where to park R.I.P. Bruce
I worked with Bruce at Family Pathways Food Shelf.. Not just that, Bruce was my Friend. The best thing about going in to volunteer (no offense to the rest of the foodshelf people) was that he was usually there with a smile and he was happy to see me. we always had to have our Hugs and Cuddles. and with every one of them It was warm and sincere. Bruce always drew me hearts and put them everywhere for me, on my nametag, on my phone, wherever. I love this man with all my heart and miss him more than anything. Rest in peace my friend ♥
Worked with Bruce when he was at Marketplace Foods. He was a very caring person. Loved people and those who knew him could not help but care for him also. I will never forget the cards he would give me for holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. He will dearly be missed.
