His dedication was obvious as shown through his good-natured willingness to offer a helping hand to members of the Weare Police Department and the Weare Community. entire Acknowledgement of Bruce Benzel's many fine qualities and accomplishments will never exceed the heartfelt appreciation and loss suffered by of all.
