I was deeply saddened to find that Bruce has passed away. I attended OCS with Bruce back in 1976/77 and he was one of a group of 4 of us that hung out together when we had time. One of the funniest guys I've ever known, always asking me to sing "Oklahoma!" (because I was from there). One more time, I salute you my brother!
