I am so very sad to hear about Bruce's passing. I worked for many years with Bruce in the train dispatchers office in Buffalo, New York. Bruce was a great guy and friend. He always had a smile on his face and was fun to be around. I will always remember the good times we had working and fishing together. My deepest condolences to his family.
