Sorry for my typo in 2010

I couldn´t say enough wonderful things about this man. He was sweet and kind and funny and generous and wrote me letters and we only met on a few baseball tours. The first time we met I was getting dropped off in kind of a beat up old limo because my friend was getting rid of it so he wanted company so he drove me from ny to Florida. Bruce told me a few days later something like ohhh I was wondering who this guy was. I don´t want to say big shot because I don´t recall. It´s not just an expression to say my life isn´t as bright without hearing from him.

We met on a Jay Buckley baseball tour and I couldn´t say enough nice things about this gentleman and my life would possibly be much better today if I was still receiving his letters or baseball cards or getting together possibly.

My condolences go out to Bruce's family. I have not seen Bruce in many, many years but I still remember him fondly and often wondered how he was doing. We both went our separate ways after our divorce but at least we were not bitter. Bruce was a wonderful man
