Bruce and Pam were the most generous and spirit-giving hosts of my extended family, and Lindsey and Chad's friends, as we gathered in Dallas in 2006 to mourn and memorialize Lindsey's passing and Hudson's arrival.

Bruce stood vigil by my sister's bed, coordinated with doctors and always, always, was a presence of great calm and warmth throughout those grueling days. By his side, Pam was a flurry of Southern caring and charm. The couple even invited us into their own home for the...

Pam,

For those of us at Morgan Stanley who were privileged to be able to call him our partner, Bruce was a true inspiration. While we prided ourselves for our work ethic, Bruce's dedication was on another level. More importantly, our commitment to business integrity was perfectly matched by Bruce's unwavering approach to business issues. He always did the right thing. And all done with an engaging personality that made our conversations a welcome break from the rest of the daily...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Pam,
My father, Red Hailey, has prayed for Bruce every day since we met last year. Dad was upset after he heard the news and said "I will get off the phone and say a prayer now". Bruce was such an encouragement to all he met and gave all of us such hope. Bruce touched all of our hearts.
Our prayers are with you.

My Brothers and I knew Bruce over a period of 34 years. In that time, I do not recall Bruce being anything but friendly and full of laughter on any day I saw him. Observing as an SAE already at the University of Texas, I took note of the fact that people loved to be around Bruce. Bruce was still in High School when I noticed something else. Bruce was highly intelligent yet wore it lightly, making others around him feel comfortable.

I regret that I did not get to see more of Bruce...

Bruce was my boss for 6 years & in that time many memories were made & funny stories were shared. When it came to work boy he meant business...but when it came to family and friends he had a big heart and could be quite the humorous one! I'm blessed to have known him and he will always be remembered. Love in Christ, Jennifer Woody

Dear Pam and family,
We are all so thinking of you at this difficult time. Oh how we all loved Bruce, and the laughter and sweetness he brought into our lives will never be forgotten. Loved seeing him last at the Rose Bowl excited about UT football. A great day and lots of wonderful memories about Bruce. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories sustain you until you see Bruce again.

I heard from Hunter Farrell this morning of Bruce's death. I'm am very grieved at his early departure. I remember Bruce well when he swam with Hunter at Highland Park.

Hunter wanted me to find Lorena's address to express condolances to her and I do also.
