W. G. Bruce R.I.P.

W. J. Bruce did Wednesday.  He was a retired carrier that had a route in Zip code 30066.

  He had a sharp quick wit.  The exampled that I always remember once a clerk named Debby was appointed a detail which was not distributing mail.  W.J saw her walking by with a pen and clipboard.  He asked her shouldn’t she be helping getting the mail to the carriers.  

Debbie said she was on detail.

He said, “Well get off DE TAIL and do some work”

He was an excellent country singer.  All you had to do was mention a subject and if there is song about that subject and he would sing the first verse in perfect sound as the hit.

On his route a lady complained about him.  What did he do?  Nothing.  Why did complained?  She just did not like him and wanted someone else to deliver her mail (WJ. had a Van Dyke beard cut).  Which the manager of the post office branch W.J. worked at accommodated her.  Another carrier had to go out of his or her way to please her.

As sharp as W.J. was he came down with Alzheimer's Disease.  Alzheimer's  can strike the best.
