Edwin Bruce Street

Our deepest sympathy to the Street family as we all loved and admired Papacita. Childhood summer memories are filled with enery pills and tomato rock hikes and the Fourth of July. His kindness translated in every generation as keen, neato, cool, or rad. The children already identify Chautauqua with Papacita as we all do. Godspeed Street family.

Love,
Anna, Lee, Zachary, Bettyann, & Mary Leonard

Dear Virginia family and friends,
I was so honored to meet you both last summer at Chautauqua. Bruce took me to lunch, and I loved hearing about his life, and about memories of Bertha raising my grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Virginia, Virginia and Bruce: I was so sorry to hear about Bruce. He has been such an inspirational figure to me over the years. Chautauqua will never be the same without him. I am just glad to have known him. Sincerely, Duncan

Dear Virginia, friends, and family, I was saddened to read of Bruce's passing. We share a fine heritage, and Bruce certainly set a high goal for all of us with the outstanding accomplishments of his life. He'll be greatly missed.

Love to all,

Virginia, Bruce will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched. Though I have only had the privilege to know your family for a short time, I admired Bruce for his strength, attitude and accomplishments. Please accept my condolences. Sheryl Kiser~

Virginia and family, our ties go way back as Aunt Bertha raised my mother, Mary Craig. How much we appreciated your short visit last summer (in the rain) to our Cathy's recital in Chautauqua. Also, Cathy told us of her wonderful lunch and visit with Bruce a week later. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of grief.

My 7 year old, Tony, raised his hand in school yesterday with a prayer request. He wanted his classmates at St. Andrew's Episcopal School to pray for "this man I call Papacita, who was like my great grandfather when I go to Colorado. I never knew my great grandfather Greer, but Papacita was a good friend of his. He was always the first person I would go visit when I got to Boulder. He was such a nice man. He gave you energy pills whenever he thought you needed one -- and they helped!"

Virginia and family,
My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all! In my twenty years at Chautauqua, there has been no one that I have respected more or has made me feel a part of the summer community than Bruce. I will miss our winter phone conversations and especially our summer discussions about the grounds, projects and the general well being of Chautauqua. Look forward to seeing you all this summer.

Lemon drops, lemon drops, lemon drops, late night hikes, tomato rock, quiet hour, tennis, picnics, listening to nature, lessons in life! Full of energy, always giving! All wonderful memories! Papacita embodied a unique gift to make everyone around him feel special. He was and is a Great man. We will all miss him but he will live on here because he touched so many lives here on earth. I just know he is by GOD's side passing out energy pills! My condolences to you and your family!
