Bruce was one of my best friends! Four years gone by and it’s hard to believe. I can still see his grin and having a great time pulling a fast one on some unsuspecting friend! Love you brother!

Mark Clabaugh and I have very fond memories of Bruce and Helli. Bruce coming to Ohio to fish and being in a wall of fog all of a sudden. Also the kindness you and Helli showed us when we vacationed in the Seattle Tacoma area. It was so kind of Bruce to take us salmon fishing and travel with us throughout the area. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just read the news report today. Our friendship goes back a long time. I had hoped to get out to the North End to see both of you after I returned. Bruce had a great sense of humor and loved to play jokes. I am sorry that I did not make it out there sooner. We all had some pretty interesting times together.

one of my favorite "bosses" throughout my career in printing - with many happy memories of Bruce. My condolences to Helli, Max and Keith - the miniature sunshines of Bruce's life!
