Default Loss of a friend

It is with great sorrow I am passing this information on to the Van's forum family. Today my friend, Bruce Stamper, crashed his RV 10 in Wyoming. He did not survive the crash. I will not go into the circumstances of the accident. I will say that over the past few years Bruce and I formed a strong friendship and he was my constant mentor and encourager with my build. He was an outstanding person with a heart of gold. He will be dearly missed and has created a void in our lives. Please keep your thoughts and prayers in your hearts for Bruce's wife and four children.

Just numb. Did not know him but certainly followed his build.

Condolences to his friends and most importantly his wife and four kids. Let us know if there is any type of fund set up for them.

Blue Skies Bruce.

This is horrible. We enjoyed meeting him at the fly ins and discussing his build. We were also looking forward to spending time with him on our trip to Alaska this coming summer.

This is terrible news! I just talked to him on Thursday and missed a call from him on Friday. I believe he was having fluctuations of his MAP and Fuel Pressure gauges.

Love and prayers for the family!
