Nedra, Sean, & Ryan,

Our sincere condolences on your loss. Bruce was a great man and clearly a loving, dedicated father.

Just a few weeks ago, while preparing for this summers Puckstoppers schools, Wendy and I were remembering all the times when Bruce and Nedra were such a help to us in setting things up at the parent night and what a great job you both did selling all the apparel. We had no idea at the time that Bruce had passed.

I'm sure the boys are now fine young men, they were always well behaved when thay stayed with us and this is a reflection on the influence of good parents.

Bruce will surely be saddly missed by all who knew him.

Hold the good times in your heart...

DearNedra,

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Bruce and I worked together at Xerox when he was the Branch Controller in Harrisburg. So, its been awhile. I have fond memories of him and the contributions that he made to the company he loved.

I remember when he was a city manager, before his Xerox days, which helped him get the job. Fond memories to be sure.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Nedra, Sean and Ryan,

My sincere condolences. I have worked with Bruce for many years and during the past two years we became great friends as we shared Adirondack experiences. I enjoyed his stories and pictures from Sean at Paul Smiths and your trips up north. Eileen and I were camping in Rollins Pond last week and returned to learn of his passing. How ironic that I stopped twice at Morgan's 11 to introduce myself to Sean.
I will always think of Bruce as I experience the beauty of quiet ponds, mountain vistas and the sound of wind in the pines.
Know that Bruce was a friend and leader with compassion and empathy for everyone. Those who had the honor to know him were blessed with his coaching, mentoring, and wonderful sense of humor.
Wishing you strength and peace.

Sincerely,
Doug and Eileen Bloom

Bruce was a wonderful colleague and superb project manager. He always provided great insight. Bruce was very approachable and you could talk to him about any topic in an honest and open manner without fear of reprisal. We exchanged many stories about our children. It was obvious how extremely proud he was of his sons. I will miss him. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you. God bless.

Dear Nedra, Sean and Ryan,

What a terrible sadness I feel over the news about Bruce. I worked for him in the SPA organization and he was one of the best examples of a manager, a father and a person I had ever met.

Bruce had a genuineness to his personality that was unmatched by others. He loved people and he adored his family. I was very fortunate to have known him. I know how very much he will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Warm regards,
Caroline Costanza

Bruce was my manager, my colleague, and my friend during my work tenure at Xerox from 1992-1994. I will never forget his capacity to create and lead an organization that reflected his vision. He encouraged all of us to develop professionally and think outside the box. I still have the “roughly right” stamper he gave me, as a reminder not to analyze things too much before making a decision. Bruce also had a great sense of humor!

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who knew him. He truly will be missed.

Sincerely,

Matt Mills
