Not sure what to say?

Bruce was a wonderful guy. I will miss talking and emailing him even if sporadically since the old days at Cornell when he used to beat me in tennis. I just noticed that he was gone and wish Sally and family the best.

My deepest condolences to Sally and family. I just heard about Bruce's passing. I worked in Dr. Pilar's lab with Bruce in the 1980s and had him as a professor for Neurobiology at UConn when I was a senior. He was just finishing up his PhD and was so kind to me. I remember going to your home and to church with you all. After I graduated and moved to the Boston area, he wanted me to come back and attend a Lady huskies game.

Sally and family please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Bruce. I knew Bruce for 15 years as a colleagues at Simmons. Being from R.I., he and would often chat about the Westerly and Watch Hill, which I knew he loved. He will be missed.

Sorry for your loss! I was a student at Simmons from 2003-2007 and I had a few classes with Dr. Gray. He was an incredible man and an awesome teacher. I looked forward to every class I had with him. I know he was a great family man and my prayers are with you at this time

Sally, Andy, Gen and family, we are so sorry for your loss of Bruce. There are no words that can ease your pain right now. Our hearts are broken. The world has lost a wonderful man. We are so thankful for the beautiful memories we made with you and Bruce and your family. Please know we love you and are here for you always. Love and prayers from Faye and Eddie Weber and family

Dad, I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. You taught me more than I even realize. Among those, compassion, acceptance, kindness and perseverance. Although the sky takes on a darker hue and life will never be the same without you, you taught me the sun will shine again, but the warmth we feel will be from our memories together. I will surely smile again someday, because of the legacy you left in me.
