Jean, Cousin Bruce was dedicated in all pursuits and memorable to many. My deepest sympathies to you and yours and all of us whose lives he touched, and helped to improve. Fondly, Laura Peabody Eckenrode, youngest of the youngest of the seven.

Bruce was amazingly kind and caring. Though I haven't seen him for many years, it's obvious that he made a huge impact on our world. A loss for all of us. With deepest sympathy to his family, Sandy Anderson Bolton

A remarkable man, Bruce taught me a lot about combining unflagging passion for social justice with rationality and sober thought about how to achieve progress with integrity. For decades he was enormous valuable to National Farm Worker Ministry.

Bruce was one of the kindest people I have ever known. Gentle, compassionate and smiling is how I will remember him. Privileged that he was my cousin and only wish I'd known him better. My thoughts are with Jean and his children.

Our deepest sympathies to Bruce's family.
Cousin Robb Thompson and his wife Melissa MacKnnon
