Default Bruce Lancaster's Memorial Service

I just received this from Bruce's daughter Elizabeth:

"The service will be held on December 7, 2019 at 11 a.m. with visitors starting to come at 10 a.m.
First Baptist Church of Millburn
386 Millburn Ave, Millburn, NJ 07041"

It's my understanding that Bruce was cremated shortly after his death so there won't be a viewing or anything like that.

Gosh. It's so sad. He was a very fine person who will be missed.
Can't believe he's gone. God Bless him and his family.

My wife and I miss both Bruce and Alice. They were both first class people we were glad to have known.

Thanks Pete for posting this information.

Bruce was a 'distant' friend that traded parts and information with me. I always found him and his detailed knowledge of all things Ford , fascinating !

I always thought that he must be an old one, to have so much knowledge and old parts. Only to find out that he was a young guy !
He would always tell me that he had to go into the 'very cluttered' (attic/cellar ?) areas of his place to dig out what we discussed for exchange. Gave me the idea that he had hoarded/kept everything....parts/books.

Bruce always was a courteous gentleman who took the time to share his knowledge.
RIP...Bruce

Two houses, one with a one car garage that opened into the basement and one with two two car garages, one under the other. I was only ever in the one house with the one car garage and that garage and in the lower garage of the other house.

I was there too, amazing how we all knew Bruce through old Fords but in reality that was only a very small part of his life, with the same generosity going in every single direction. Bruce sure was a great guy that I am glad I had the opportunity to know.
