Read MoreI know it has been a while, but I just discovered Bruce's obituary. I had the pleasure of working with him during his travel nursing days in NJ. Really sorry for your parent and family. May peace continue to be with you. Love, Charles

Bruce, what can I say? I think back to all the funny times like when you burned my wooden ladder, as we were out of fire wood, the fire was getting low and the day we both took off work and sat on the floor watching Witches of Eastwick drinking Manhattans and then the time you sat with me all night with the ca. scare! You were strange and wonderful Bruce, I will always miss you and think about you, I love you my friend.
Love, Ginny

My deepest sympathies and prayers for your loss. I work at the Salvation Army, and know that his volunteering was deeply appreciated, and his presence will be missed.

Bruce was a student in my first class of first grade in 1968-69. He daily was so refreshing and talkative among 38 other first graders. He was like a little adult and teacher helper.
In 1985 or 86, I was admitted to the emergency room at Silver Cross hospital. "I am sorry I have to hurt you in an artery, Mrs. Mostyn," was his comment. How comforting to see this little guy (now grown up) who was kind to me in the classroom now helping me again.
I haven't seen or heard...
