Bruce was a great guy. I worked with him at Motorola for many years. He was always ready to pitch in and help anybody and always made the wise cracks that made everyone laugh. He bragged about his family all the time. So glad I bumped into the 2 of you at Kohls a year or so ago. Our prayers are with your family.
