Bruce... Thanks for giving me flight instructions at Skyhaven. I wish every flight instructor were half as good as you. I will never forget the time you solo'd me. God bless you.

Bruce I never told you I love you and how deeply I care for you for this I am sorry. The way you love your wife and the pride you had in your son showed in your eyes and your actions, these are a couple of the things that made you such a wonderful man. The way you would introduce me as your daughter-in-law with the same look on your face brought joy to my heart. You are going to be missed. With Love Wendy

The Central New York Locksmith Association has lost a true and valuable member. Words alone can not express his devotion to this trade and his dedication to this organization. I know that I have, and I believe every member of this association has benefited by Bruce's willingness to share his extensive knowledge of this trade. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his family members and friends. He will be missed. - President - CNYLA
