Bruce was my first employer 44 years ago after I graduated law school at the old Brown,Berry and Deutch firm. I learned alot during my one year tenure, and stayed in touch with Bruce all these years, though our meetings were chance encounters a couple of times a year. I always enjoyed those chance meetings, and though I saw him infrequently I feel a great loss.Please accept my sympathy and warm wishes.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I knew and respected Berry for over fifty years. May he rest peacefully.

Lois, Jeff and Laurel,
I read Bruces obit in the paper and all i could think of was sitting on the docks at camp and listening to Bruce complain about a traffic ticket he got on the way up wearing his fila warm up from Ultimo. He always had great stories..new items (gravity boots to hang around in) a fifty year old bottle of wine and a smile on his face. I will always have fond memories of the times spent at camp OJ and post seasons will be punctuated by many of Bruces. My deepest condolences.
