We grew up on the same street in Greenfield and used to shoot hoops together when we were young. Bruce was always a sweet person.

We had a lot of fun in high school-Bruce was kind and funny and always down for a good time. I´m so glad he made it to a recent class reunion and he saw how much he was loved. He will be missed.

Our condolences to the family. My father and I met Bruce when he was a Senior. The story I have is a great one but to long to tell. I will say I loved reading the Greenfield Recorder about Bruce's games and what a very talented player he was. I was a lifelong fan. He was the most polite person to my father and me. You have our prayers

My deepest condolences to the family. I went to school with Bruce, and like Bruce, I also was born in Springfield and moved to Greenfield at an early age (Something in common there, and never knew Bruce was born in Springfield). We all used to hang out together and had a great time. Bruce was a pretty decent athlete as well. He will be missed. We had some great times.

I worked with Bruce at the Westin Crown Center Hotel. He was a wonderful, and kind man. He would always ask me if I was hungry when he was ordering togo and would order a little something extra for me. I will miss my gentle giant, "Brucie". Rest now, my friend. Love Miss Rita
