Family Information

Bruce
Where do I start? Most people would probably describe me as a Jack-of-all-Trades, which is probably a very nice way of saying I'm not very good at anything in particular. I play guitar in a band called Brothers, Inc., do a bit of writing, and play all kinds of sports. I'm also a very happy husband and father.

Jeanne
My lovely and talented wife; my other half; my partner in all. We have been married over eighteen years, and together for more than twenty-one(!). She is a caring mother and wife, and one of those people who doesn't jump halfway into anything. She's great.

Matthew
Matthew is the heir to the Farrell Fortune, our legacy As our son, his role is to make us laugh, impress us, test us (sometimes), and teach us about the limits of parental love. He's very good at all of these things and more. We've decided to keep him around for a while.

Jake
Jake the Wonderdog was, as we often told him, a good boy. He was generously given to us by my step brother John, and immediately became a fixture in the household. He was the best dog we've known, and we miss him.
