Bruce and Dapper Dans

April 5, 2010

My deepest sympathies on the loss of a wonderful man, Bruce Brann. I have known Bruce for over 30 years. I sang with him in the Dapper Dans of Walt Disney World from 1978 until his retirement. I also enjoyed singing with Bruce in "Center of Attraction" along with my father and brother, Bob and Rusty Ross. Bruce was the consumate gentleman and loved barbershopping more than life itself. We have lost a GIANT of the barbershop world and of our earth. I know one day I will again sing a "tag" with the mighty Bruce Brann, the Dapper Dan. Roger Ross, Orlando, Florida. [email protected]

We are so sorry to learn of Bruce's early passing. I sang with Bruce and the Dapper Dan's at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Singing was his life. May God continue to shower Bruce with beautiful refrains from "God's Choir." My Wife Carol and I have shared many fond memories throughout the years. Our Prayers are sent to the Family. Remember all those happy times, we sure do! Buddy & Carol Seeberg (Medford, OR) (formerly Orlando, FL)

We regret to hear of the passing of our beloved brother Bruce. He will be remembered for his pleasant personality and generosity. He had a passion for music and provided this ministry to the church for many years. We look forward to the day when we will be reunited with our brother, as together we join with the ransomed in singing the song of the redeemed.

Dear Family of Bruce,
The Barbershop Harmony Society has lost a dear friend. I had the
pleasure of singing in a couple of quartets with Bruce and we became
very close. Unfortunately, I lost track of him when he left the Orlando
area. I would appreciate any details that you can share with me.

Most Sincerely,
Don Benbow
