Just saw the notice about Bruce's passing last year. He was a good friend since the 1960s. He was also a groomsman in my wedding. Bruce, may the gates of larger life be open to you.

I thought that Bruce was a wonderful man. Smart, kind, honest, principled. We were neighbors in El Salvador.
My condolences to Marta and Bruce's family. The loss of a great buy

Goodbye to KHS, First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood and supportive friend. Bruce was brilliant and admired anyone that stood up for their beliefs, whether he agreed or not. Let that be his legacy, especially freedom of speech. Sympathies to Marta, Vanessa and his family. Peace!
