Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Bruce. We, here at the Museum of Bus Transportation, are still in shock. Bruce was a great friend, member and contributor to our Museum. His paper bus models have been a wonderful addition to our Gift Shop. We feel blessed to have had Bruce come into our lives. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to learn of Bruce's passing. I worked with him at CNA Insurance in Chicago. Most of us have unfortunately lost touch with him since his retirement but have fond memories of intelligence and helpfulness in the workplace. We are all saddened by his untimely passing.

I am very sorry to learn of Bruce's passing. I knew him in Evanston, IL from the 3rd grade through high school graduation. We were classmates and friends. He was a great guy and I know many will miss him. Please accept my condolences on your loss.
