BRUCE MCCARTY

In my book and at dozens of appearances related to 40th anniversary of 1982 World's Fair I always included praise and appreciation for my friend and major contributor, the classy Bruce McCarty.

Elizabeth, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nancy & Ray Guay

Mrs. McCarty and Sarah, I just recently heard of Mr. McCarty's passing. Your family was always so kind and generous to me when Sarah and I were at Southwestern. My husband Mike and I still live in Gatlinburg. When it is convenient I would love to visit and to reconnect with Sarah. My email is [email protected]. Sincerely, Molly Enloe Hicks

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Bruce. I enjoyed talking and working with him. He will be missed by all and my thoughts and prayers will be with Doug and family

I loved working with Bruce, such a great designer and a wonderful person to teach the young guns how to really be a great architect. I will miss him greatly. Proud to say I got to work for Bruce McCarty.

Bruce McCarty was a wonderful person in general and a great person to work for. I worked for MHM for over 7 years. My prayers go out to Elizabeth, Doug and his entire family.

I just learned of Bruce's passing, My best to Elizabeth and Doug and others in the family. I have so many positive memories of my association with Bruce, and overall I think of him as a classy guy whose demeanor almost overshadowed his enormous talent. So much of the early survival of the 1982 World's Fair was due to Bruce's faith that it would happen...my favorite story was in an early meeting when a Federal official asked Bruce and Bill
Cannon of Barge Wagoner Engineering what was...

In a fifteen minute presentation to the Building Committee of the Tennessee Theatre Foundation, Bruce mapped the objectives and goals that resulted in its recognition as THE STATE THEATRE of TENNESSEE. Momuments to his practice and creativity abound throughout our community. We shall remember his skills and the results thereof.

A frendly smile and a warm hand shake is what I will always remember about Bruce.
In my past 35 years or so of private practice and working at UT I think I meet him a couple of times,and when you talked with him he very seldome if ever had an unkind word.As an architect I appreciated his vision for the Knoxville Campus. His design work was alwas first class and added a modern touch to a Campus that needed a step toward the future.
He will be missed.
