Bruce was a wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna of southwestern New Mexico. We will miss him.

A tough but fair professor, a nice guy, and a positive influence in my career as a science teacher.
Thanks Dr. Hayward!

Dr. Hayward was my major under graduate professor at WNMU. He was a great teacher and one of my most influential mentors. I enjoyed his personality, particularly his individuality, very much. I regret not keeping in touch with him after graduation, and am thankfull for his influence in my life.

Bruce was a regular customer at my gelato shop. Every Thursday evening he would come in and order a different combination of flavors, working his way through them all. From what I have heard, Bruce lived his life that same way: trying everything, with gusto.

Bruce was a wonderful and very entertaining friend for a very long time. I enjoyed wonderul dinners at his house and out in the field, where you could always count on him to have or contribute something "interesting."
He asked me to take care of his house one summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Here's to you Bruce!!!

Bruce is an incredible spirit you will never forget after meeting. We co-officiated a Wedding and I wished we had more time to receive his wonderful stories. His humility was so real.
