When we helped Bruce move from Winnemucca to Reno he gave me his copy of "U.S. Rifle M14 from John Garand to the M21" by R. Blake Stevens. He was a generous man and I will miss him.
From the first time we met whenever he told his stories of life in the NW Territories and other adventures I came away thinking "this must be what a conversation with Hemingway or TR must have been like". I will forever be left with the vision of Bruce putting a lodgepole through the front windows of an International Harvester Travelall so that he could "come-along" a woods bison into the back for the trip home! Or of him standing polar bear guard at night in camp with a M14 and a full 20 round magazine. How many men actually get to own a 404 Jeffery much less hunt with one. No Walter Mitty life for him.
I am certain that he arrived at the pearly gates sliding in sideways, huge grin on his face showing through his white beard exclaiming "Thank you Jesus, what a ride!"
Till we meet again Estimado Bruce.
