Exactly.

Here, for those who were not lucky enough to have known Bruce, are a few pix of him with others at the 2016 South'n Spine Raid.


Bruce is in green tee at center.  Vicki Orwig also appears in this pic.

May he and his family be at Peace.

Our small community keeps getting smaller, or perhaps just younger.

In the picture Bruce is holding a bottle of Prichard's Private Stock Rum.  You can only get that at the distillery in Kelso, TN and he brought me a bottle to the last GA campout. 

I will have a glass in his honor this weekend.

This is too bad.  Just a real shock.  I've seen Bruce at several events through the years.  A really nice guy to be around.  Truly sorry.

Single Vehicle Accident at an interstate highway interchange. 

Those are pretty safe places to run off the road.  Wonder if he suffered a medical emergency and that's what caused him to leave the roadway?

I wouldn't be surprised. He probably wasn't texting..
