Not sure what to say?

Bruce was a mentor to me and supported my admission to the U.S. Supreme Court. He motivated me (and will continue to motivate me) to be the most prepared and best counsel I can be to my non-profit clients. I will miss his wit, humor and vast wisdom. My humblest condolences to Bonnie and the rest of his family. I will miss him greatly... Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything.

I was fortunate enough to have worked with Bruce for 6 of my 16 years at John Wiley and Sons. He was without a doubt one of my favorite authors. He truly loved writing and we loved publishing his work. He was a valued author, but more importantly, a wonderful man. I will very much miss him. May he rest in peace.

Bonnie, Please accept my most sincere condolences at your loss.

This is sad news indeed. I had the honor of practicing law with Bruce for a handful of years, and he taught me most of what I know about nonprofit law. He was a wonderful mentor and friend.

A true gentleman.

Bruce had a profound impact on my career and I learned much from him, especially that the heart can make all things possible.

RIP Bruce.

He taught me a great deal. What intellect.
