So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. We were both members of the BMHS class of '68, and he and his twin, David, were always in my homeroom. I remember Bruce as a sweet and upbeat individual. My condolences to his family.

My prayers to the entire family. Bruce was in school with me and in a lot of my classes (in home room) because my last name was Cooke.
I will keep him in my prayers!!!
