Obituary
Send FlowersThe Coach With a Heart
You could learn something about Bruce Gary from the way he coached a Little League team. Season after season he created good teams by focusing not on the all- stars but on the children other coaches would stick in right field and forget about.
"Every year there would be the really good kids, and some kids who weren't so good," said Thomas Gary, his 15-year-old son. "But he worked more with those kids, and by the end of the season the team would be more equal."
Mr. Gary, 51, was a firefighter with Engine 40, a part-time plumber and since his divorce a decade ago a full-time parent to his three children: Richard, 20, Jessica, 24, and Thomas. Somehow he found time to be vice president of the Little League in Bellmore, N.Y., coaching his sons and their friends. Always encouraging, never losing his temper.
"He would help boost kids' self-esteem," his daughter said. "He wanted to give everyone a chance."

My partner and I visited the 9/11 memorial site on Wednesday, December 6th 2023; and I took a video of the water falling and in this video a spiritual energy walks right through the centre of it. I have watched this video many times and screen shot certain sections which appears to show a fire fighter walking through the middle of the water! The name Bruce and Kevin resounded through me strongly and I felt I had to Google and find out about you, only to find that you and Kevin worked...

Missed every day and never forgotten.
You gave so much and asked for so little.
A servant's heart is God's sanctuary, you taught me that.
You left us too soon, still, you live on in our hearts.
Enjoy the heavens

I will never forget Bruce Gary. He was my brothers little league coach for many years. I went to every game to cheer them on. He was such a wonderful guy all around. They ended up naming the field after him. I went to the ceremony and everyone's eyes were filled with tears. He touched so many people's lives whether he knew it or not. He helped so many kids accel in baseball and helped them be their best. I still pass his house every now and then, which the renamed his block after him as well,...

My husband and I have just had a great week in New York, as part of our trip we felt we had to visit the 9/11 tribute, we joined a tour and we were truly devastated at the things we learned and weren't aware of. Part of out tour we visited the water falls which were very serene and peaceful which was strange for New York. The name that stood out to me was you, Bruce Gary, I ran my hand in the water and rubbed it over your name to pay tribute to you. I've later read you were a fine fire...
