Whenever I met Bruce he was kind and engaging. It was a privilege to know him through his work at Historic Deerfield.

It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Bruce on two of his books! I enjoyed hearing all the stories, and I learned so much about wood at the same time. I also got to meet and spend time with Barbara and Henry wile photographing in their house on our recent project. Such great memories! Rest in peace my friend.
