Hey Bruce: I am still in shock, and think of you often, especially in fall when I think of students returning to school. We shared that 4 times a year, advising the smartest and most creative in the co-op program. They impressed you, yet I was impressed by you, how you devoted your time and heartfelt and nurturing guidance to them. A gift intended to last a lifetime. I wish we could still meet for lunch and share our common interest in the joy of the watercolor painting. You had the designer's eye and artist's spirit. I know your art has inspired others as well. Rest well and I'll be back. DAN CHURCH

I am saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. I know he will be greatly missed by family and especially his loving friend Sheryl. Bruce was a true friend and a true gentleman, in every way and every day. He was delightful to work with at UC in the Professional Practice Division where our paths crossed fortuitously when I joined the faculty for a few years. We had been high school and college fraternity brothers, and his interest in the study of Architecture as a UC student influenced me to attend UC as well and become an Architect. His manner and commitment to assisting students to realize and pursue their aspirations was to be admired. He found his place and those budding architectural students that crossed his threshhold were as fortunate as I to meet such a fine man, and friend for life.
