Bruce Hall Dannels

This Mark Heller. I heard about Bruce and his passing from a report of a job walk the other day. An occasion when we would often come across each other and get sidetracked in other conversations. Off-putting clients when their competing electrical contractors were so friendly to each other.

Bruce gave me an opportunity to keep working when the economy was crashed and my own business in a hole. Our industry is a small universe and we have traded parts and knowledge over the years since.

I´m sure there will be no shortage of people to reach out to Chris to remind him that his father was a good man. With some qualities too numerous and nuanced to list. And despite his sarcasm, and no holds barred honesty to a fault - he was a character you could trust to be genuine. Bruce was Bruce - and Bruce was a good man.

Bruce was a beloved member of our wine tasting group for too many years to count. He hosted our annual champagne tasting, which was always a highlight, especially with his amazing stereo system, which he would blast for us after the tasting. He was such a witty, fun, interesting, and just all around great guy. A HUGE gap is left in our hearts and he will not be forgotten.

Will always look back fondly on shared Alaskan fishing trips with chef and captain Bruce.

Playing golf with Bruce was always special. He would critique my shot good or bad with his curated no filter comments. Loved him as a great friend I´ll miss forever

Bruce was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. He could be funny, generous, helpful, serious but he was always a great neighbor who could welcome you with great food and fine wine. Our time with Bruce and Carla was always something special.
