Bruce, you left us ten years ago and it seems like just yesterday we were teaching at Safford Middle School....then too we were teammates in that long ago bowling league...yeah..The Hucksters.
You’re never far from us...we still remember you and kid around like when you were there. You were Mr Coolo then ( inside joke) you’re still Mr Coolo.
Rest In Peace buddy. ...............your friend, Manny Fregoso

Coach Fleck was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He motivated me and encouraged me to always be the best. Not only was he the best role model and coach but a great friend. Coack Fleck will forever be in my heart and I thank God everyday for having brought him into my life.

I first met Bruce while working together at Safford Middle School. Bruce loved to crack jokes and put smiles on people's faces. I will always be thankful to Bruce for talking me into becoming a girl's basketball coach and helping me get my first job at Tucson High School. Thank you Bruce for all the fun times we had and may the Lord bless and be with your family always.

I regret I did not get to know Coach Fleck as well as I would have liked to. I do know the impact he had on the many lives he touched through the classroom and the gym. I truly appreciated the attitude and professionalism he displayed while we were together at Pima. I know it is a great loss for the Pima Athletic Department and the Women's basketball program.
May God bless his family during this time, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Life is measured through the number of laughs, tears of joy, and people you touch. Bruce filled his 58 years with too many to count. A special family with an inspiring father. He understood the true value of life. Hayden Smith
