Eleanor, I'm so blessed that I was able to talk with Bruce on several occasions. I always enjoyed reading his responses on Facebook. He impressed me as a strong, but gentle, kind and intelligent man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Bruce. He was such a supporter of band camps and such a fine player with lots of enthusiasm
for the instrument. He will certainly be missed.

We will miss Bruce at band camp. I had the privilege of sitting next to him at Chautauqua. Too bad we didn't get to play his arrangements with the horns, as one person dropped out after the first day. Bruce needed four players to try his arrangements. Will always remember his great playing.

I am really going to miss Bruce. I chatted with him at the last day of the Chautauqua New Horizons camp and he seemed fine. Pat and I admired the support and care he always gave to Eleanor. He contributed much to the New Horizons movement.
I will always remember him as a good friend and an excellent musician. Roy Ernst

I am so sad to hear of Bruce's passing. He was a great horn player and enthusiastic participant of any horn group we got going at Band Camp. I will miss his skill and his quick wit!
