To All The Manson Family - Bruce was one of my oldest and closest friends. We went to grade school and high school together and I was at the Manson home almost everyday on my way to school at Dunbar. We played football in the street, double dated, laughed forever and shared so many special ocassions together. My good friend, my buddy, my brother will truly be missed, but never forgotten. May God watch over all of you doing your time of grief.

Dear Manson Family: Your wonderful husband, brother, father, grandfather, etc. was also a part of a larger family-- Dunbar Class of 1966. ..yeah he was one of our members who helped us break records just for kicks...he broke the record for strength of character and loyal friendship. I pray his soul rests in peace because he knows you all will be comforted and cared for in the Lord.

To the Family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you all. I've had many professional encounters with Bruce and he was one of the best at what he did. I was blessed to finally have him photograph my wedding and I think hes was happier than I was (if that's possible). My heart goes out to you. Praying for your comfort. Thank you for sharing your loved one with so many of us. He has left a lot of fond memories. Peace & comfort.

Bruce, a true professional! Bruce, often quiet in the execution of his business but oh was he thorough. His photography creed exhibited correctness, order, and quality yet his business savvy was fair. Bruce cared about people and I shall miss you my friend.
