Read MoreI live on Batchelor St. and would see him frequently out walking while I would run with my dog. We always shared a friendly hello, weather update and a smile. I'm very sorry for your loss, he seemed like a wonderful person and I will miss seeing him.

I was sorry to hear of Bruce´s passing. I worked with him years ago at National Blank Book in the late 70s and early 80s. A very nice man. I was a kid and he helped teach me the ropes. A hard worker with a terrific sense of humor. My condolences to his family.
