Reddington family,
I remember Bruce from his days at Rockwell and will never forget the kindness and support Bruce and Barry
gave to Jim while he was ill. May your memories of a man of quiet strength comfort you in the days ahead.

Brucce was my friend for about five years. I will miss his unique humor! We spoke by phone several times a week, and I will miss our conversations. Bruce will be missed more than he ever would have guessed. Behind his gruff facade, he had a big heart and was always willing to help.
