The kindest most empathic man I have ever known. He understood our pain in challenging times and he reacted with utmost compassion. As a lawyer, he fought for us, pro bono, because he understood justice. We will always remember Bruce's outstanding kindness with great humility. He will be missed.

Our deepest condolences to Lucy and all of Bruce´s friends and family. I remember Bruce as a true mentor as I started out as a young lawyer. He was kind and competent, hard working and a model of integrity. He never changed and will be deeply missed for his constant good humour and gentle smile. The world could use a lot more Bruce. Rest in place.
