Dear Liyu and family:

With sadness I send my sincere condolences. As the previous CEO of ESC I had the privilege and joy of working with Bruce for ten years. He not only helped the many nonprofits we consulted to but was always the person I would turn to for advice on an array of topics to help ESC better serve the community. He will be missed by so many who benefitted from his intellect, expertise, kind heart and generosity of spirit. I am sorry to not be able to attend the memorial service as I am out of the country. Please know that you are in my thoughts at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Bethany Kendall

What a sad day. Bruce was a wonderful advisor to Explo. Wise and warm. Our meetings were always filled with thought provoking questions and a good bit of laughter. He taught a bunch of educators to think differently and those lessons still live on. We will miss him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the extended family.

Dear Liyu, Georgia, other family and friends of Bruce,

I personally, and the ESC of New England family, benefited from Bruce's expertise and wisdom for over a decade. The ultimate brand master and story teller, Bruce loved helping nonprofits find the words to tell their stories better. Bruce stayed connected to many of the groups he worked with, making lasting friendships and continuing to contribute in so many ways to their success.

We will miss Bruce's unique generous self.

In peace and humility,

Julie Crockford, Executive Director, ESC of New England and Bruce's friend

Rest in peace, Bruce.
