Oh Bruce you are gone too soon. And how do we measure a life well lived? Not by the amount of time spent here on earth, but by those you have touched in a way that made their lives a little brighter. There are many of us who are richer for the experience, and we will miss you.

I only met Bruce once, briefly, at my aunt's memorial service 2 months ago in Largo, FL. Anne played the organ & Elmer conducted the service. My family & I had the pleasure of sitting w/the 3 of them after the service. They were all such lovely people. Bruce was so pleasant & friendly - it felt like we'd known him. I am so sorry for your loss of such a beautiful man/person, husband/son/brother. My deepest sympathies to his wife, Joy and his parents & all who knew & loved him. The world has lost a special human being, but Heaven has gained a beautiful soul.

I haven't seen Bruce in some 15 years, back when he was co-owner of Legend Studios. Bruce & Bob owned the place and gave me my first chance at being an engineer, which has bloomed into 20+ years in the biz for me. He was such a kind, positive, talented guy. His passing is an immense loss to us all.
