Bruce VanDyke

Bruce had such a fun loving personality. Whenever, we would get together in our Quiet group (he was an active member of for many years). His input was ever much appreciated. Yet, he never failed to make fun of my ripped jeans in a very comical way. Needless to say, I will never put on a pair of ripped jeans without thinking of him and smiling.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was glad to get to know Bruce during our time at COS. We kept in contact through my writing and work and his wonderful curiosity. That is something I always loved about him. May you experience Love's warmth surrounding you in this time of loss.

Peggy, My condolences to you and your family. You and Bruce were such great support to me during the roughest times of my life, and even though we´d lost contact, you´ve always been in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you strength and peace during this time of loss of a very special man. I´ll always be grateful for his strength during my wedding as my best man. It´ll never be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him when he volunteered for 5.5 years in Rudell Drug Store at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. My time with Bruce showed him to be a kind, compassionate, sweet, funny, dedicated person. He was the kind of volunteer every volunteer manager would love to have. I miss him as a volunteer. I miss him as a person.
