I was sad to hear you had passed away.I'm gonna miss you coming to my work.I always had the pleasure of waiting on you.you always had a smile that brightend up my day.

Dear Joanne and family, So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. The memories of our times camping, church, and the many board games we played in University Place will stay with us always. He will be missed by many. God Bless. Betty and Don Nelson

I was greatly saddened this week, when I returned to work and learned of Bruce's passing. It was an honor to care for him the last couple of years. He reminded me so much of my own Father. I always scheduled extra time for his clinic visits so we would have time to chat. I enjoyed listening to him talk. He was so knowledgeable in so many disciplines. We would discuss everything from politics to religion to cooking. He had such a wonderful sense of humor. One of his favorite topics was his family. He loved his family with his whole heart. He was so proud of his son Steve, and happy about his new daughter-in-law Tiffany, and of course his own bride, Joanne. I will truly miss you my friend, and Bruce, you were never OFUD. The cat is OFUD.

Didn't know you at all but you are a brother to my uncle Randy and his pain and his family touches close to home, you look like such a happy man and an older man, heard you were a good man and am glad you are in a better place.. Peace to all of the Humes that are going through this hardship, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We send the whole family our condolences on Bruce's passing. Its been a long time since I have seen him but will always remember when we were little how tall he was! Sending many hugs.

we didn't know you in person but heard of you through Randy and his wife (my sister ) Cheryl .. most of you know her as Cheryl but we call her Susie . Our Prayers go out to the family in the loss of a Great Man . May your memory be forever in the hearts that you have touch in your life !

I first came into contact with "Uncle Bruce" at my Aunt Maureen's (Auntie Reen's) funeral about 8 or 9 years ago. He was so willing to share his faith and encouragement. His work on the family tree was pretty amazing, I wish I could have known Bruce better over my entire life rather than just the last few years. Reading over the entries in this journal I can see how much he was loved. Because he was a believer we can celebrate in knowing we will see him again.

Dear Joanne, We are so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing but rejoice in knowing that he is with the Lord. We have never forgotten your kind hospitality to us after church one evening so many years ago. We will pray for you as you face the days ahead. Love, Carol and Larry Brake

Bruce was a gentleman and well respected by those of us who worked for him. I will always remember him with fond memoeies. God bless him.

To my sweet Father-In-Law,
You have left your mark on my life. Until the very end, you found joy in our Lord in spite of your circumstances. You loved the book of James and its call to look beyond the trial to the mighty work of God that would be completed through it. You lived well. You made hard choices and now we can speak of a life uncompromised. Thank you. You blessed us with your contagious laugh and great sense of humor. A few of the many things I’ll always remember…how you loved the theatre, the Gaither’s, and basketball. How you anticipated Steve’s arrival to hear about his day. How you warned us about the foxes. How you could talk about a good meal for days :). How you loved reminding everyone that you were “OFUD.” How you lived for your wife. Man, did you ever love your “Honey.” Fifty years with her made you so proud. You poured your wisdom into your son which I will forever reap the benefit of. I am so grateful. What life we have left on this earth will not be the same without you but because of 1 Cor. 15:54-55, we rejoice in your wholeness. Until we meet again our precious and faithful dad, husband, brother, uncle, and friend…we love you…we miss you…we praise God for your life.
Looking forward to picking up where we left off,
Tiffany (SHMWLY)

Aunt Joanne and Steven, We are very sorry for your loss. Uncle Bruce was a wonderful man, except for those darn coloring books! I will alway's remember his funny ways! Love, Shelley & Jim

To the Hume Family,
I had the opportunity to work with Bruce for many years while we were both with the Washington State Patrol. I was very sad when I learned of his passing. He was a true gentleman and a fine example to all of us that he helped throughout his career.

Remember Bruce from those days at University Place, grade school, Scouts; fun times.

Bruce- You are like another father to me. Although we didn't see much of one another, I always kept you, Joanne, Brian & Steve close to my heart. Without you and your family, MY family would not be here today. I remember asking Joanne how my name came to be Susan Diane and Joanne said that was the name the both of you had chosen IF you had a girl but you were blessed with 2 great boys. My parents let you and Joanne choose my name because they were so grateful for everything you had done for us. I will never forget you Bruce or your family. I will always hold you and your family close to my heart. You will be missed dearly.....

Love,

Susan Diane Miller

Our family would have not been here if it wasn't for yours to take us in and give us the life and opportunity we have in America. For that we are always thankful to have been part of your family. Our love, our lives, and the memories we shared will not be forgotten. With love for Joanne and family.

I will always remember the sweet fellowship with Bruce & Joanne at Temple Baptist Church (Tacoma,WA)back in the 1970's. What a blessing to have known them

To Joanne and family - my love and thoughts go out to you at this time. I so many wonderful memories of working with Bruce and becoming his friend. He was a great friend and always there when needed.

May we all remember our happy times with Bruce and know that he is now living where he walked toward his entire life. Love, CathyO

I was so sorry to hear about Bruces passing. He was a classmate of mine at the Academy, Class of December, 28,1958. I had the pleasure of working with him at various times during our careers and he will be missed by all of us who knew him

Sincere sympathy to Bruce's family. Bruce will be greatly missed by all of us WSP retirees.

Bruce had a huge impact on me and my family. He was instrumental in strengenthing my walk with Jesus. As a young trooper and christian I once asked him if I could be a trooper and a christian if I were faced with having to take a person's life. His answer would help me decide if I could remain a trooper or not. He told me to read Romans:13 in the living bible and let God answer that question. I did. And went on to have a 25 year career full of "divine interventions". Bruce was my friend, mentor and counseller. I look forward to seeing him in heaven.

Bruce was a kind hearted man with a great sense of humor. I met him through work and came to respect a man of values for truth and leadership. He was always willing to lend a hand, and was great as a sounding board for a newcomer with so much to learn. He shared his life stories with such gusto, and his love of his wife and family were so obvious. He always joked when I came to work with a Starbucks drink that I was contributing to his retirement fund. I missed him when he retired and I miss him again now. Please know that a special man now waits for his family in the bosom of his Savior until you meet again.

Bruce was a friend with sense of humor and a fantastic co-worker. Bruce you will be missed.
