Bruce graduated from Kutztown U in 1979 with an education degree. So, yes John, this is the same Bruce that you knew in college. I remember hearing your name mentioned many times. Thank you for your sympathies!

I remember the day you took Mom and me to the shore, a journey she has never forgotten, just as you will never be forgotten by us.

It's hard to believe that so much time has already passed. You are still very present in the lives of your German relations as I know you are with all those who loved you dearly and to whom you have always been important.

Yes, Eric Wilhelm is so right. We were all convinced over here in Germany that you watched the game of all games, Bruce, and that you know that your dream has come true. You won't know how much you were with us all when the Eagles won - for YOU.

Bruce, on February 4, 2018 the Eagles finally won the Super Bowl. The first person I thought of was you and how much it would have meant to you. Somehow I know you were there. Congratulations Bruce your dream came true.

I'm not sure if this is Bruce who was a graduate of Kutztown U from the late 70's, but if it is and I think so by his picture, sadness from a college roommate...John Orlando

Bruce was a NAHS Class of 1974 classmate and friend. We attended school together to my recollection from about 6th grade on. While Bruce still lived in the Norristown area we had some mutual friends.

Condolences to the Clauser family.

OMG!! Bruce ALWAYS made us laugh! He loved life so much and adored his family in every way. We fondly remember all the GREAT times at the beach, in and around the neighborhood, on the volleyball courts, on the (many) golf courses and the nights of playing cards!! Bruce was such a long-time Friend who will be missed so much......and will leave a huge Void in our hearts!! R.I.P. !!

We didn't know Bruce very long, or very well, but knew him enough to know he was a great guy! I wish we didn't live 250 miles apart. I'm sure we could have been close friends. You will live on in our memories.
