Preceding in death his wife of 65 years, Clara Bruce, one son Maurice Bruce, his parents Horace Lee and Ruth Bruce, two sisters, Ruthann Turpin and Reva Salley.  Horace was baptized at County Line Baptist Church and remained a member of County Line Baptist Church throughout his life.  Horace's schooling was very minimum due to having to help his father on their farm.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name

And took my hand

The angel said my place was ready

In heaven far above

And that I would have to leave behind

All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven's Gates

I felt so much at home

When God looked down and smiled at me and told me

"WELCOME HOME"

So, when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart

For every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your Heart.
