I am sorry to have just learned that Bruce passed away. I was married to his cousin, Craig Baird, for many years and knew Bruce, Butch as Craig´s family called him, in the 70´s into the 80´s. I have good memories of numerous family gatherings in Harvard. My condolences.

So sorry to learn this and my condolences to his family. Bruce and I worked together at IRS in the Chicago area and we were great friends. We took the CPA exam at the same time and had a nice meal or two afterwards in Chinatown. He will be missed.
