Not sure what to say?

Bruce was my friend and mentor when I served with him in the Riverside Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville, Florida. He tutored me in the appreciation of music and we conversed often on a wide range of topics. I regret that we got out of touch lateron.

Still remember Bruce as my mentor in ministry. He took me under his wing and gave me honest counsel. I learned from his sermons and especially learned from his life.

So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He married us in 1969 in Miami. He was a wonderful man and an excellent pastor. Our sincerest condolences.

Bruce was a special friend to my brother Harold and me at Riverside. Remember well the Password game at Sunday evening Coffee forum when he was the only one in the room who knew my clue "Thelonius" was for the word "monk". It was a long time ago but it's easy for me to claim him as a huge influence on my faith journey! Grace and peace to you all.

Such a lovely man and minister. I am glad I got to know him while he was the minister for First Presbyterian Church in Tallahassee. I am grateful that he baptized me.

He was a great thought provoking, caring individual.Very sorry...

So sad to learn of Bruce's passing - Jim and I have so many fond memories of Bruce's ministry at Riverside Presbyterian. Judy you are especially in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you

My initial contact with Bruce was when he was a youth advisor at Riverside when I was in High School. Later he and his family befriended and provided a place to stay on long car trips between New Haven and Jacksonvile when I was in graduate school. He (and his family) played a significant role and a sign of God's presence in my life through their sharing of ideas and hospitality. Bruce will be missed and not forgotten as a wonderful human and a sign of God's grace.

My sincerest condolences to the Robertson Family. May the God of all comfort (Psalms 83:18) help you during these difficult times.
