Never had so much fun flying model airplanes with anyone else, but Moose. I will never forget Bruce, one of my best friends. Rest in peace.

It’s funny how it’s taken this long for me to hunt down Mr. Liming. I think of him every time I see a talk show or hear a podcast about peoples’ favorite teachers. He was my math teacher in 1978 at Ramapo High School—I never used math beyond what it took to get into college but Mr. Liming made an indelible mark. He was FUNNY and made math FUN! He knew his kids and you definitely felt like he gave a rip about each one. To me he was a gentle giant and I will always think of him as one of the best and most memorable educators in my life. I went on to Duke University and had an “elite” college experience. I remember few of my college professors but I will always remember Bruce Liming. Rest In Peace

Mr. Liming was my Algebra 1 teacher in 1972. He was always upbeat, kind, fair and caring. He knew how to present the material in a way that captured your interest. He touched a lot of student's lives and was a great example. Loved him!

To the best flying friend I ever had. It was fifty years ago, Moose, but it seems like last year. Flying those model planes at the Allendale ball park was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. I remember the beautiful SE-5 biplane you took so many months to build. That plane did a magnificent wing over and flew straight into the ground on its first flight, splattering into five million pieces. After spending more time repairing it than you did building it, I can still see the look on your face when it took off and flew flawlessly on its second flight. What a smile!
My prayers and sincere condolences to Bruce's friends, students and family. What a wonderful friend he was. Rest in peace, Bruce.

To all of Bruce's students!! I am Judi Liming. Bruce's oldest and "favorite" niece. First I want to tell all of you THANK YOU for all of your kind of words. I want ALL of you to know how much he adored and loved all of his students. I have heard so many stories. He always loved being a teacher as much as he loved being in his boat and fishing. I also want all of you know I was with Bruce when he passed and it was peaceful and he did not suffer at all.
Thank you all again!!!

Thank you, Mr. Liming, for helping me find the humor in math. You are the math teacher I most remember from my time at Ramapo, and I count myself a proud member of the many "mental pygmies" you encountered in your long, fruitful career as a teacher. I am teaching now myself, and humor plays an important role in everything I do. Thank you for that all-important lesson about learning and laughing.

Mr. Liming was definitely a teacher I will never forget. He had such a great rapport with all the students. I hope he enjoyed teaching at Ramapo as much as many of us enjoyed having him as a teacher. Rest in Peace! You will be missed and remembered.
