Janet, Denny, Neal, and families,

Bruce was a treasured friend. Our lives traveled many roads from Montana to Illinois to Wisconsin to Minnesoata to California. The paths we crossed were delightful! Bruce always knew what to do and what to say to make life full. He will be truly missed and forever in many hearts! Memories will live forever.

Please let me know, if there is anything that I can do to help.

Janet, Denny, and Neal and your families,
Bruce was a dear and delightful friend to me here in Minnesota and on some great adventures, and though I've never met any of you, I heard enough stories to know you were dear to him. I'm thinking of you all with great tenderness --

Janet, Denny, Neil and families,
I am very sorry for your loss. I will always remember his laughter, his love and friendship, his spirit of adventure, the trips we took to Spain, NY, yellowstone camping in the snow, etc. He will remain a wonderful person forever in my heart.
My mom said that she enjoyed the visit with the handsome, well spoken, polite young man when Bruce and I stayed in her home for 3 days. She sends her condolences to his family and friends.

Your loved one will be remembered at the Chicago Police Mass this Sunday (Easter), at 10:00 a.m., NOT 11:00 a.m. as mentioned in our previous post. Sorry for any confusion.

Bruce was an integral part of East Bay Community Recovery Project. Even though it has been a while since he worked with us, we remember him with great fondness. His sense of humor kept us going during difficult times. We could always count on his compassion, honesty and strong leadership. He was a mentor to so many of our staff. We are all saddened by his passing and send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family.
