Not sure what to say?

I worked for Bruce for several years in the mid to late 80´s. Brilliant, funny, exciting to work with... I gained so much during those years. He treated me like a daughter and I miss him, Lyn and Sharon tremendously. I wanted to attend the memorial, yet I found out too late. Thank you, Bruce for everything!

Hello Lyn, I don't know if you remember me. I was Dr. Corenman's nurse in Vail. I am in Northern California now and was thinking about calling on you both. When I googled Bruce, I was guided to this guest book. What a fantastic human being... I appreciated him very much... he displayed such a genuine care and kindness to me that I am so thankful for.... I often think of things he told me such as "The most important thing is mastication, Margaret" :-) I just wanted to connect to you. ...

I'm sorry I am just now finding out about Bruce's death. He was one of my nine 'uncles". A member of the Casey crew in the 487th Bomb Group. My father was the flight engineer. I knew Bruce long before I had the honor of meeting him in 1998. Another of the Greatest Generation has folded his wings. Let's never forget.

I am heartsick, as Bruce was such a valuble human being, with such giving energy, of his great expertise. I have had many memorable and treasured conversations with him over the years. He helped me through my many difficult health issues, offering so much to me, through his life time of knowledge. When I failed to reach Bruce today, I searched to see if he might have been ill. I am so very sad to learn of his passing. I so wish that I had been able to speak to him and encourage him, through...

Sharon,
I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about your dad. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Bruce was an amazing man, who had so much knowledege and wisdom he shared so easily! He had incredible energy. My mom Connie Granados who has had MS for years learned so much from Bruce! To this day she still practices what he taught her! I remember going into the wellness center in Portland and having so much fun and learning so much! Bruce was so Kooky and fun! He will be missed so much! I am so sorry Sharon for you and your familys loss, his spirit lives on! Connie and Mari Granados

Dr. MacFarland and his wonderful products have been improving my life for nearly 20 years. I am grateful for the gifts he gave the world. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Sandy, Sharon and Dave,
I just heard about your Dad's passing and wanted you to know I am thinking of you all. Your Dad was one of the great characters (in all the best ways), I have ever known. His positive excitement about life and his constant quest for new knowledge was inspirational to me. The glass was always half full for him and I will remember him fondly always.

There are so many things I could say about Bruce MacFarland and what a blessing he was in my life when he introduced me to his youngest daughter and my life-long friend, Sharon.

In addition to Bruce being a part of a most ideal childhood neighborhood, more recently I had the pleasure of spending a week with him and the MacFarland family in Hawaii. From a most adventurous car ride from the airport, to the many heartfelt conversations we had during the week, to the crescendo of...
