Bruce was my teacher in the early 1980's in Crofton. I have never forgotten that class, his passion for educating and his sense of humor. My condolences for his family; please know he has had a lasting legacy on many of us.

We are so sorry to hear about Bruce. He will be greatly missed. He was a mainstay in Rolling Knolls for many years. He was known as a good neighbor, fun-loving coach, and supportive parent to both his own children and other neighborhood kids, as well. Bruces passing leaves a big void in the Rolling Knolls Community. We continue to pray for the ONeill Family during this difficult time.
