Dear Gail and Lynn,
I was so sorry to learn of Bruce´s passing. Our parents were friends and neighbors and I have memories of Brucie from the neighborhood. Living in FL, I was tickled to see his success in the design world and to know that he found an enduring love. Caren passed away a year ago after a long illness so I understand the pain of losing a sibling. Sending you so much love... may Bruce´s memory be a blessing. Mindy

I can still picture Bruce turning around in front of me in high school art class and even in junior high school. We spoke occasionally. RIP Bruce...I´m so sorry to hear this news. Taken too young
