I was so sorry to hear about Bruce this morning.  I remember him from school, he was in my home room but I really got to know him on facebook.  We chatted every now and then and I saw him again at the reunion and I know he had a really good time and he was so funny.  I am sure he will be missed by his family and send my thoughts and prayer with them all.  He will be greatly missed.
