Treasure Chest wrote a sympathy message

“Sending prayers up for the comfort and peace that only God can give, to Sue and all other surviving family members. The meritoriously promoted Marine trained at Parris Island and was always passionate about the Marine Corp. Before Sue came along, it may have been the love of his life. He enjoyed an Irish pub & Chevis Royal Salute. As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, I'm sure he sang the last few words of the P.I. tribute song, " Another Marine reporting Sir, I served my time in Hell" RIP Bruce.”
