Richard Bruce Steinheimer

I´ve only had the privilege to know Bruce through working with him on NYC movies. A very impressive man with great engineering abilities which here had because of experience. Also a great sense of humor. I live in Connecticut and used to tell Bruce he lived on the Left Coast and I on the Right (Correct) Coast. He said to get out of there and come to L.A. and that the birds had more sense because they would fly south when it got cold. We would talk about his apple orchard and gardening. One...

I just saw a list of deceased Grant School classmates and was deeply saddened to see Bruce's name. I knew him only for a short while when I attended Grant school for fourth through sixth grades. In fourth grade, I sat between Bruce and Jeffery Wright in Miss Mosca's class. They would have major air wars together, using only pencil and paper to map out strategy. All of this required loud sound effects. I was caught in the middle! Having no brothers, I found this noisy activity to be quite...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

When Bruce came into Special EFX Unlimited he was always the quiet gentleman. Behind those eyes I could see he was calculating & planning the execution of his complicated mechanical effects. R.I.P. Bruce. Your contribution to the Motion Picture Industry will live forever in the films you coordinate or supervised Special Effects.

Oh boy. Hard Loss. What a guy. My family and I met Bruce, his SPFX team, and his family in Key West at the start of my film career in 1988 on "License to Kill." Twelve years later we worked together again on "The Glass House." Bruce had a beautiful smile. Reassuring and confident in his own quiet way. Always happy to help or explain or demonstrate. A true gentleman. Prayers for Bruce and his family - Marilynn, Garth and Zoë. Bruce was a blessing and a gift to this world and will be...

At ten years old, I entered Grant School in San Francisco fifth grade. Bruce was one year older than me. He was and continued to be one of the nicest, kindest person I had ever met. He was fun loving and open for adventure. A memory: The Presidio was one of many places our group would play. football at Julius Kahn, hiking and climbing about the forest of eucalyptus trees. Bruce had a Vespa and we would drive through the Presidio. We came across the pet cemetery and found many feral cats...

I met Bruce only about 12 years ago when he and his family joined my daughter and me on a trip to Bavaria, Germany, to meet a recently discovered cousin. We were total strangers even though our great-grandfathers were brothers. That fact did not stop him from joining the expedition! I am so saddened to learn of his passing---he was an elegant person.

Where do I start. I was fortunate to go on many locations with Bruce and it was an honor and a privilege. We shared many great moments together from the craziness of China to the freezing cold of Boston. Great memories of a wonderful caring man. He will be missed by many.

Bruce and I met at a crazy and fun Christmas gathering thrown by our newlywed 60 something parents. We lived far apart but shared the love that his father and my mother shared for each other and for their families. I will miss his smile and spirit and the hope of spending more time together.
