Although I only had contact with Bruce on several brief occasions, I was impressed with his warm, friendly and charismatic personality. I saw him last only recently and was quite shocked to hear of his passing. My most sincere condolences go to his family and friends who I know will miss him dearly.
~ With very warm and kind regards,
