Dear Brian,
Bruce was a very important part of my teenage years-he was always a friend that I could count on. He made the class reunions a lot more fun. I hadn't seen him for years but he was often in my thoughts. I an so sorry for your loss.
sincerely

I've only know Bruce for a few years now, but I always looked forward to running into him at the beach in the morning, as did my dog Helen, who could spot Bruce walking from a mile away. I wish I would have known him better, but I consider myself lucky for knowing him at all.

There will be a memorial gathering for Bruce in Chicago at a private home on Saturday, May 13, 4-6 p.m. Please call 773-854-6879 for the location and details.
Will Rogers once said "If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they go." Wherever that is, we'll find Bruce there too.

So sorry to hear of Bruce's passing.
We volunteered together at Open Hand Chicago and he helped me sell my house in Chicago to move to Crown Point,IN.

Brian and family,
Bruce and I were good friends for many years. It's been 2 years since he and I last spoke. I am saddened to hear of his death. He was a kind and good man, misunderstood by many, but to know him was to love him. We helped each other through many difficult times. He was always there when you needed him. I know he is in a better place now. I miss his dry sense of humor, him calling me Missy, and those silver locks of his. My condolences to you and yours. I miss you bunny.

I was saddened to see Bruce's obituary in today's paper. We graduated from Portage High together. I remember him from many classes but mostly from times that Denise Jefferson, Colleen Cantwell , Terry Sweeney and I would get together and walk Charlotta Woods. I remember seeing him last at one of our early class reunions.
