I just found out about Bruce and I am beyond sad. I was in his new hire class at Air Caliornia in June of 1977. Absolutely loved him, he was the best. I was so happy whenever we got to fly together, which we did a lot, and also few internationally when we were both in Miami. Sending love and support to his family. He was the best.

I used to work with Bruce out of Miami. When you saw his name on the crew you always knew it was going to be a good trip. He was always kind, funny, professional and an all around great person. He will be missed in this world!

BRUCE was probably the most fun person I ever knew! Even hanging out watching TV was fun. His imagination was incredible. I so hope you're having a good time with Ruth, and take good care of Shelley Moress! I will love you forever!

I AM DEVASTATED! I just found out today of Bruce's passing. I adored him. We met when we both met working at a department store in Pittsford and instantly became best friends. He picked me up after school and off we went. We took many trips together, saw each other when we were home from college, lost touch then reconnected several years ago, and it was like no time had passed. I absolutely adored his Mother Ruth! Such a sweetheart and lovely person. I just talked to him in March as we both shared March birthdays. I am devastated! The world is a sadder place without him in it!

I met Bruce thru his cousin Jerry Jones. We met and we were both flight attendants so we were instant friends. My sincere condolences to all his family- he was a wonderful and i truly enjoyed Bruce Jones.
God bless his family at this time of loss.
