We miss our friend Bruce Martin. He was one of Jeff's best friends (along with Frank Brecka), the best
man at our wedding in 1967, and was always there for Jeff & I no matter what! We shared dinners,
together, vacations ( Pocono's, The Jersey Shore, Out Banks (along with the Brecka's and Bruces
sister Bonnie & her husband Jim). We sang "God Bless America" at sunset on our boat on the
Barnegate Bay.
Pat asked Jeff to speak at Bruce's funeral. It was his honor.
He did have his faults. Yes, especially trying to cheat at cards, but we had SOOO many laughs to
gether! The kind where your stomach hurts and tears are streaming down your cheeks. Bruce
did that all the time.
We miss those times, but he is in a better place So here's to you BRUCE!
Reyna & Jeff Kravitz
