Not sure what to say?

His memory is truly a blessing.

Bruce's humor and overall niceness have continued to be among the fondest memories I have of my law school friends. He was just a great human being.

With our 50-year law school class reunion event looming, the scores of us who so fondly remember Bruce will be recalling him and missing his warmth, smile and good humor. He will always be remembered and missed.

So sorry for your loss on this anniversary of Bruce´s death. Keep your most cherished memories close to your heart May his memory be a blessing.

Carol, Jacqui & I met you at Stan Millers home 3 years ago when we were all invited for end of golf season dinner. I didn't know Bruce that long, but had the privilege to play a good number of golf rounds with him for a couple of years. He was a smart, kind and gentle man. Also competitive though and I enjoyed all our time together. I am very sad that he has left us too soon. I am so sorry to you and your family for your loss.

Always a smile, always kind. I remember him well from our school days in Glencoe. May his memory be for a blessing.

Carol,

I just learned of your terrible loss. I have known Bruce for 50 years or more. I remember Bruce and his friend, Moose Gordon, from Horseshoe both as a Camper and as a Counselor. I worked with Jerry Wald before Bruce became a member of the Bar and since then was always in very close contact with Bruce, whether just meeting at the train station, referring work to him or playing racquetball. I have always considered Bruce one of my best friends and I am sorry I was not advised...

Bruce and I met in law school and became good friends. After graduationfrom law school, we both worked in the Loop and often had lunch. Bruce represented Carol and me on our first house closing. Unfortunately, we didn't stay in touch very much after we moved from the Chicago area, but I will always have fond memories of my friend Bruce. He was one of the most honorable lawyers I have ever known.

My condolences go out to the entire Wald Family.
Bruce and I were handball adversaries and teammates for over 25 years at both the River Club and the Union League Club.
We enjoyed every minute of it and I miss him very much.
The most heartfelt sympathy from the Farrell Family to the Wald Family in your loss.
