James Edward Bruya

It breaks my heart that I cannot be in Seattle right now to honor you in person, Jim.
You were not just a boss - you were a mentor, a guide, and a friend who believed in me before I believed in myself. You gave me opportunities that shaped my path, and through your patience and wisdom, you taught me lessons far beyond the workplace - lessons about resilience, integrity, and purpose.

Every project we worked on, every conversation we shared, has left an imprint that will stay with me for a lifetime. Your mentorship continues to guide me in every step I take.

Thank you, Jim, for the trust, the guidance, and the kindness you showed. You will always be remembered, not only for what you accomplished, but for the lives you touched - mine included.

Rest in peace, Jim. Your legacy lives on in all of us who had the privilege to learn from you.

Deepest condolences to Jim´s family. My parents, especially my mom loved Jim very much. He has been the best boss to her for the past 23 years. He took a chance on an immigrant woman with broken English and only an elementary education. He saw her talents and determination. He made her feel valued and respected. He plays a big part in my family´s improved quality of life. Now his memory lives on in the all the people he helped lifted. Rest in peace Jim. You are my hero.

You will be deeply missed by our family. Hong, Do and Children.

Marcia and Family,
My deepest condolences to your entire family. This tribute to his life is so beautiful and truly describes a wonderful and well lived life.

Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
