Sending love and prayers Bruce. I know you will always shine down.

So sorry to see this. I remember a happy, fun, easy guy that loved his kids. Lots of love to all xox

Bruce was a boss of mine at Brooklyn Public Library and he was a good one. We almost always agreed and he was very amiable an intelligent. He was also blessed with common sense which is largely lacking in many public institutions. I was sorry to see Bruce leave New York when he did and he was missed. I wish I had known Bruce personally since he sounds like a great and interesting person. A huge loss to those for his family and friends.

Bruce gave me my first job in the real world back at In Touch Networks in NYC. He was an incredible man to work for and he shared so much culture and life with me too. He taught a young man a lot. I'm sorry we hadn't reconnected for so many years. Rest easy my friend, until we meet again.

You were a good friend. We sang DooWop together. RIP "Mass"

On behalf of the Administration, Faculty and Staff of Queens College, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family. May he Rest in Peace,

Missing you more each day, my handsome big bro. Doesn’t seem like you’ve left us, your beautiful spirit definitely remains.
Love You Forever

Bruce was one of a kind who didn´t know a stranger. I´m deeply saddened to hear of his passing. We did a lot of work together with accreditation at C-State and became good work friends and colleagues. I can see his welcoming smile and hear his laugh. Sending heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Bruce was a true gem to work with at Columbus State. I learned something new every time I spoke with him, it was obvious how much he cared about the power of education, and his smile was contagious. A whole college is thinking of your family during these tough times...
