May Bruce's family be comforted among the mourners of Zion.

We will miss you.

Bruce has always been a leader from his days from the 70s-2019 at CPSI (Creative Problem Solving Institute). Personally, he in early 2010s invited me to join him for a month in Costa Rica. Then I participated in two creativity cruises he and Eileen created. And finally attending he and Cindy´s great marriage. RIP dear friend! So much sympathy to you Cindy.

So sorry to hear about Bruce's passing. He was always a joy to be around. I enjoyed listening to stories about his trips to Africa and trying to figure out his card tricks. God Bless his family and friends. Gone but never forgotten

To Cindy, Leah, Ari & family,
I´m so saddened to hear this news. I can only think of Bruce as a man who truly loved life. He certainly had a way to put a smile on everyone´s face. In fact...he made a career of it! I will always smile when thinking about him...even now.
Love and hugs to all.

Bruce and I shared an interest in humor, although Bruce was far more skilled at humor production than I could ever hope to be. My condolences to the family. After the tears, I think his memory will always bring a smile to my face.
