RIP Rye Firefighter Bruce Kerr (Online Condolence Card)

[Remember585 815]

While I only knew Bruce for a short period of time, he left a lasting impression.

For a while, there wasn't a night at work (or a day) when you didn't see "The Brothers Kerr" on the schedule as Instructors. I spent quite a few evenings talking with Bruce about the fire service, the weather - whatever. He was down to earth, honest and eager to help shape new firefighters. We had the fortune on a couple of nights to get both brothers, and for that we are thankful.

To Bruce's family, his brother Robert and the brothers in Rye, our sincerest thanks for the lessons learned and may God look over Bruce as he continues to fight fires for the big guy upstairs.

Bruce enjoyed life to the fullest and was always a great guy to sit down and have a beer with. He loved the fire service and his time as an instructor and will be missed.

Rest in Peace Bruce. Will think of you often brother!

I would like to personally thank you for all the kind words and prayers. It makes this extremely difficult time a little easier to know so many people experienced my dad's passion for the fire service.

Bruce was a wiseguy, He once moved the city of Rye line on midland ave at a large brush/ railroad ties fire so I had more fire to put out then he had! [no reaily the line is "ah" over there!] Engine 191 to Rye 10-8
