Bruce Ferris, beloved brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, passed away at home April 27th. Bruce's stature was dwarfed only by his appetite for life. A voracious reader, fisherman, hunter, golf enthusiast, and devoted member of the Treige clan, Bruce's priority was his family.

I was a person who would go into the post office in Lodi. When I would get to the counter I always hoped the person to help me would be Bruce. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor. I will miss his smiling face. Please know how lucky I am for have known Bruce. You have my deepest sympathy.
Rest peacefully now Bruce.
Gods Blessings
The giant at the door was Bruce, he ushered me in on my first day at work.
And he encouraged us all to bake as much as we liked.
He was a real presence in the lives of the people he knew. He loved to talk about his trips and the one that got away.
You are in my thoughts and prayers on this sad day.
Pious older customer--"I'd like a book of your traditional Madonna Christmas stamps."
Bruce--"Buy the Madonna and we'll throw the child in for free."
I just talked to Bruce a week ago and we talked about old times, like when we met at the driving range for a golf lesson. After several feeble drives with my Shopko Ladies Beginner Set bought in the 70's, I told Bruce it was no use with these loser clubs. With that, he picked up my driver, teed up a ball and hit it about 300 yards straight down the middle. Lesson learned.
Gone but not forgotten...
