Bruce Reed Nelson

My heart is broken and heavy this morning learning of the passing of Reed. I sent him a new years greeting last week and never heard back from him which seemed strange. I decided to google him and saw his obituary. I'm devastated! I sold Reed his home in Grosse Pointe Park in 2015. From the first day I met him my life was changed! I've never laughed so hard and looked so forward to working with someone as much as I did Reed. Showing him 25+ houses and stopping for lunches and dinners...

My deepest sympathy and prayers for the Nelson family. Reed always had a smile and made me laugh. He was one of the best and will be deeply missed.

Bruce, thank you for your service to our nation and our veterans . Thank you for being a wonderful friend and professional colleague. Thank you for the hugs, smiles and love.

Thank You Brother for having served your friends, family and country. May Twizzlers always be near your side.

With my deepest sympathy to the Nelson Family. Reed was a very special friend/co-worker to me. I spoke with when is mother passed away, and now him. He's gone to soon, but he will never ever be forgotten. My heart hurts, because I couldn't even say goodbye. We use to call our relationship husband/wife in another life. Because I loved him just that much. Such a classy, funny, Handsome man. My prayers are with your family. Thank you for sharing him with me at the VA Medical Center,...

My condolences to Bruce's family and my prayers are with you all. Reed was the sunshine to my work life, he would always make me smile and he had a great sense of humor. You were also great as a friend and always given me great advise when I talked to you about anything. I'm still in total shock and disbelief about you leaving so soon. You will truly be missed.

I went to the viewing at the funeral home tonight and what a blessing. Upon approaching the room, you could hear animated conversations, laughter and genuine love for everyone's friend, whom we no longer have. When I looked at those smiling pics, I could almost hear that crazy laugh. What a dear friend. My life is certainly richer because his path crossed my life many years ago at the APVAMC. Prayers to Bruce/Reed's family. Now they two big holes in their hearts. My prayer is that...

My deepest sympathy to the Nelson family. I knew Reed's mother, Kay, and to loose him so soon after her death is unimaginable. The Downriver Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired will remember him and his mother in our prayers, as will I personnally.
