Bruce Gagnon

Bruce was a wonderful friend and law school classmate. His warmth and humor helped me transition to law school at a time when women made up about 4% of our class. I'll never forget his kindness to me.

Sharon, Rene and I extend our sincere condolences to you and your family. We remember Bruce as a friend who always met us with warmth and compassion. His smile could light up any room. Professionally, his reputation was remarkable; Rene enjoyed his association with Bruce in the legal profession in Anchorage, and had the utmost respect for him. His contributions to the legal world, and his integrity, compassion, and commitment to his community will always be remembered. God bless you as...

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Bruce's family. I knew Bruce when I was EVP and General Counsel to Sealaska Corporation. He helped us successfully navigate several legal challenges which were extraordinarily severe and complex. Bruce was a very smart and astute lawyer. And, he was a very kind person and a real gentleman and engendered civility, even with adversaries. He will really be missed.

Sharon,
