Dear Bernadette and family, we just returned home and learned of your sad news. We only wish we could be by your side. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We send all our strength and love your way. My mom spoke of the outpouring of love and support from all Bruce's friends that she witnessed at the services. What a testiment to a lovely man and his wonderful family. Those treasured friendships are the true measure of a wonderful man and a wonderful life.

I knew Bruce as a trader on the CBOE and was heart broken to hear of this news. Over the years Bruce and I had brief interchanges some humorous and others about his broadcast venture. I will have only the warmest memories of Bruce.



Please accept my deepest sympathy.
