I grew up with Bruce in Hamilton. We went all through school together, grade school, junior high and high school. Our class, Hamilton High 1958 knew of Bruce´s accomplishments throughout his life. On behalf of his classmates from Hamilton we send our sincerest condolences to Bruce´s family and all who loved him.
