John Bruce Kennedy M.D.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Kennedy who, (as my PC physician after I returned from SE Asia in '72), suggested that I should be either "quitting smoking or plan on quitting breathing" for a chronic pulmonary issue. I have not smoked in 50 years. Thanks Doc! Glad I followed your advice ...

Only love and generosity sent on air of a ready smile and charming wit; that was Brucie. A ready hand at the wheel of Plumduff and first to lend a hand when dropping ship's anchor. Our seagoing friendship spanned the distance from Sitka to the San Juans to Mazatlan. You'll be missed, Brucie. God speed.

I am blessed and forever grateful for having the opportunity to spend time with and get to know Bruce. He taught me much about life, to appreciate everything around me, and find the quiet within oneself. I will cherish sharing hours working in the yard letting our dogs play and listening to the music always playing in the background. Thank you Bruce.

I will miss outdoor casual dinners, at home and in Paris. He had this innate ability to make you feel at ease and special at the same time. My life was brighter with him in it.

I worked for Dr Kennedy as a new nurse at the Clinic. He was a very passionate and caring Doctor. I learned a great deal from watching his patient and staff interactions and am forever grateful to have been a part of his practice. Rest in Peace.
