Very sorry to hear of the passing of a fine Attorney, Veteran and Patriot to his country. We handled some very tough cases in Labor Law, Labor Management Contract Disputes and State Workers Compensation together. We were associates and adversaries at different times since 1987. He was diligent, honest and fair man always. He knew the law. Always prepared to argue the case.

Sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I worked with Bruce at State Fund. Bruce was always a hard working attorney with a sense of humor. He will be missed. Tom Mahan

I worked with Bruce for many years. He was a wonderful person to work with. He would give you his undivided whenever you needed help, even if it meant that he would stay late to complete his own work. His open door policy was not only for work issues but for life issues as well.
