Bruce Reed, longtime COG member, SC AD and AAD, passed away this morning at 4:51am after a series of heart attacks yesterday and throughout the night.
For those that don't know, Bruce was a diabetic. I went on many a ride with him and he always told me where his insulin was in case something happened.
At Bruce's request, there will be no funeral. Bruce decided to donate as much of his body as he could to science, so they will harvest as many good organs as possible. Due to the diabetes, his kidneys were already shutting down and his doctors wanted to start dialysis, which as was typical Bruce, he refused.
Those that knew him, know that he was a gruff, tell it like is is guy, but he was always there for me if I needed anything. He taught me so much about the Connie. He will be missed.
