​Bruce Bunning​

​​​​January 23, 1952 - March 30, 2017

To all our dear friends, family, and fans;
It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of the passing of my brother Bruce. He was a wonderful husband, father, Pop Pop, uncle, brother, son and friend. He was a fabulous harmonica player and added so much to the unique sound of Warm Hearted Country! I know Bruce will continue to play beautiful music with the heavenly angels! We will miss him dearly but have great peace in knowing he is joined with our Lord and Savior in the Heavenly Kingdom.
