Bruce Leavitt

Papa Bruce, Dad misses you and loves you. A few days after I was born mom came into the hospital room, to find Dad crying and telling me about you. I wish I could have met you. I love you.

Bruce and I shared a college dormitory room for three years, during which time he taught me all the country music songs of the time. He also shared his wonderful sense of humor and his dry wit. For those years we were very close, but I missed knowing him in the later years.
Louisa, you and Bruce are much in my thoughts.

Bruce was my roommate at college. He was a wonderful friend. We send our condolences to his family and will make a contribution in his name.

Bruce was able to discuss any topic but one of his most endearing qualities was his interest in everything legal. He could talk about the law and everyone looked to him and valued his opinion....

Bruce's wit and wisdom spurred some interesting debates in the City of Santa Rosa's investment committee and I genuinely valued his participation. He was never too busy to stop and chat and always interested in you, not just the job you were doing, Chuck and I send our sincere condolences to his family.

Given the distance between us, I never saw Uncle Bruce very often growing up, but I have fond memories of the times I did see him. And when he grew the beard, I thought he looked like Santa Claus.

In the mid 90s, I found myself in a bad jam with an uncooperative client and Bruce was an enormous help in giving my guidance on how to deal with him. I was in way over my head and I'll never forgot how much and how patiently he helped me.

The last time I saw Bruce was at the...
