Bruce Lancaster
 

I just spoke with Bruce's pastor and he confirmed that Bruce died last night. There will be a memorial service but the arrangements have not yet been made. It's a crappy rainy day here in New Jersey.

Far too often, the GOOD ones leave us much too soon. You'll be missed, Bruce! DD

That sucks - Bruce was such a cool/great dude. But - if he would have had a poor quality of life (like a lot of stroke survivors do), he would probably wish a graceful exit over being a 3 legged spider . . .

Godspeed Bruce - by gosh we'll all miss you!

My prayers to his family. Let's hope Bruce is driving around in a '32 Roadster with an Ardun powered flatty in heaven.

Bruce was a fountain of knowledge and a real class act. I’m saddened by his passing even though we never met. RIP Bruce.

Well, Pete, this makes it a lousy day in southern Georgia, too. I wish I had the address of his family so I could send a card and note. Some guys will never, ever, be replaced. Bruce was in that category.

Bright, sunny, warm, and sad in south Georgia,

Zach Suhr has a wonderful eulogy posted on the HAMB. Bruce was everything good to anyone who came across him.

Bruce has always been a man of few words but you could take every single one of them to the bank, he never once got involved in any petty arguments but was always a wealth of knowledge and the information he shared was without any strings.

The sun will never again shine on the hamb er the Ford Barn quiet as bright as it did yesterday but Bruce has left his wisdom throughout the hundreds of post and will always be a member I have in high esteem.

So long Bruce, until we meet again, and to Beth and the entire family, please know you are in our hearts a prayers, your dad was a good man. HRP

Oh dear, that's awful news.
I enjoyed my conversations with Bruce over the years and always trusted his advice, judgement and knowledge. I hope he realised how much he meant to this community.

Gosh, that is terrible news. Didn't know Bruce personally but always was amazed by
his knowledge and willingness to share it. Makes one wonder, what's next. Prayers and respect to a very good man and his family. May his family take comfort in the good that he did during his stay on earth.We are better off because of Mr. Lancaster. Will surely be missed.

Him & Flat Dog and a few others have gone on to find all the answers to all those questions they ever had about flatheads. Now if they went some other way then that's the way I want to go too.

I think this is a good time to reflect on how important is is for all of us to let others know how much we appreciate their help and advise.
While they are still living.

Bruce was a great help early on when we first got the 33, answered all my pesky questions and gave his advice freely.
I will think of him today when out in the 33.
RIP

Post #13 is a wonderful eulogy. Like many have stated, I didn’t know or ever meet the man, but always benefited from him sharing his knowledge.
