Not sure what to say?

I´m very happy to have been in many conversations with Bruce on the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.

It was my privilege to know Bruce and to work with him a little. I read his brilliant book "Quantum Enigma" and treasure what I learned from him. I admired Bruce greatly and I miss his presence at UCSC very much.

The professor's course for laymen on the strange implications of quantum mechanics was the most interesting class I ever took, period. He was an amazing teacher -- passionate, challenging, lucid, and playful. I just discovered his excellent book Quantum Enigma and learned of his passing. My deepest condolences.

I will remember this fine teacher from my course titled The World View of Modern Physics back in the late 70's. He was a master educator and set the bar high for me seeking out further education. What a fine, brilliant, wise and funny man. I am so sorry he had suffering from pain and am glad to hear that he was able to have control of his final destiny. Thank you dear teacher for your guidance.

I just found out about this yesterday. I had Bruce for Physics 5A; my very first college physics course. He could be quite a character. I remember how he always wore a tie and paced back and forth across the blackboard and showed us how to draw a perfect circle using our arm as a radius. I didn't appreciate him much at the time and probably joked about him with my classmates. But he taught me the entire foundation of physics which I have gone on to teach a few hundreds of students myself...

I just found out. I am so sorry for the loss of such a man. His efforts at UCSC in teaching and nurturing all of the students will not be forgotten. I remember that class 'Physics and Industry' like yesterday. It was such a great class, because of Bruce. I remember his trying to teach us real valuable basic skills: How to eat a company dinner, how to interview, basic resumes, networking. I can still hear him ringing out "If your house is burning; grab your family, your bird, and then your...

Bruce was one of my professors at UCSC; kind and inspiring - My condolences to his family and friends

I knew Bruce for over forty years, and he and I collaborated extensively on research and teaching projects for almost the past twenty. He was a huge influence on my professional life, and was always generous with his time and advice for anyone who asked. I will miss him greatly.
