Dear Kathryn and Mike,
I am a long college friend of Bruce's from the UMKC School of Medicine and also as a Delta Chi Fraternity brother. Mike, I hope you'll also remember me from SEMO.
I have so many stories to share about Bruce. He was a true "brother" in every sense of the word. Many a late night studying for a biochemistry exam together helped me through those first years in school. Of course this was followed by a road trip to Gates BBQ, Dairy Queen, Lawrence, KS or Cape Girardeau on some silly ,but no doubt important, fraternity adventure. I remember Bruce best during those early college years before he learned about his illness. The world was before him and his potential was unlimited. I see from patients and family that he did indeed meet his potential! And for that he is most blessed.
I simply share your loss of husband, brother, son and uncle.
Shalom,
David

Dearest Family and Friends of Bruce,
I went to high school with Bruce. I didn't know Bruce very well but I certainly remember him as a smart and personable guy. I am very sad to hear this news. We lost another classmate last fall, Brad Aul, to M.S. And I, also, have the disease. I know of one more person from our class who also struggles with M.S. What are the odds that, at least, four people in a class of 600 would have this? My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Love always,
Robin Levy Goetz

I am proud to call him my "brother". He will be missed by all us who were fortunate to have been touched by Bruce.

Kathy, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You were such a gentle, caring person to Bruce. I will forever hear him calling you with affection, "Kat".
Bruce, you were my beloved brother. Words can not express how much I will miss you. We shared so many things especially our sense of humor. You always understood and made time for everyone. I love you so much. Peace be with you.

Bruce was a wonderful brother. He was smart, funny and was always there for me-looked out for me. Whenever we would talk, the first thing he would ask was about my son-he always put others before him. Bruce never had an unkind word. He will be greatly missed by my family and will be in our thoughts forever.

Dr. Feldman was a GREAT doctor, he was a great blessing in my life for many years. He has been in my prayers for a very long time. I know he is better off where he is now, but he will truly be missed. The medical practice has lost a great man. I was blessed to have known him. It is because of him that I am still here today and I am eternally grateful.

Bruce was not only my cousin, he was also a role model to me. He always had a kind word for everyone and he genuinely cared for the people he knew. I will miss Bruce but I am lucky to be able to say that he was a part of my life and will be remembered always.

I am a nurse who worked with Dr. Feldman at St. John's. He was GREAT to his patients and to the staff. He was a Dr. who truly cared. He will be missed as he has been since he had to forego visits to the hospital when the challenge became just a bit too much. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mrs. Feldman and family,
I was a patient of Dr. Feldman for many years. His courage in the face of his MS helped me to fight my depression. My step daughter has MS. Dr. Feldman and my husband used to discuss it quite often during our appointments. He and you have been in our thoughts and prayers for many years. We will continue to pray for you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bruce's entire family during this difficult time. I am so saddened by his passing. I enjoyed working with him at Memorial in Psychiatry. He was wonderful to both his patients and to the nurses. He was admired by those he worked with and he will be missed.
