So sad to hear about Bruce. I worked with Bruce back in the good ole days and remember having many good times and lots of laughs. Really fun guy to be around. He had a very friendly and out going personality. He even used to DJ at a local club. And he would sing karaoke. I will miss Bruce.

My first memory is the first time I met him. DB Coopers in Nashua NH. He was a fish out of water in NH in January. He came from Houston and cold weather wasn´t for him. He introduced himself and bought me a drink. His southern accent was so thick I only understood 1/2 of what he said. He had a really nice smile and beautiful blue eyes. He didn´t have me at "Hello" he had me when he called me Ma´m. 34 years went by too fast.
