This was installed tonight at Charlton Park on Thornapple Lake.

Just so it doesn't ruffle any feathers… MMA did not contribute any money to this memorial bench, it was paid for by Jeff's friends.

BARRY COUNTY — A pair of shoes and a fishing hat floating across the lake from where an empty boat was found adrift early Sunday are the only clues as to what happened to a 40-year-old Charlotte man and his 3-year-old son.

The pair are presumed drowned after failing to return from a daylong fishing trip to Thornapple Lake in Barry County's Castleton Township. Family members identified the missing man as Jeff Bruce, 40, of Charlotte and his son, Grant, 3.
