  1. Peg and family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. Bruce, you and I go way back to the beginning of SE in the church and at St. John’s Hospital. Bruce was quite the guy! So glad I had the opportunity to learn from him and work with you both.

  2. My condolences to Bruce’s wife and family. I knew him since 4th grade. Haven’t seen him since high school. He was a good guy. Rest in peace Bruce.

  3. Peg and family – I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find solace, as you grieve, in the memories you made with Bruce.

  4. Peg and family – my thoughts are with you at this time and I am so sorry for your loss. The memories go back a lot of years.

  5. I met Bruce in 1998 when I started at SEHSC. One of the things I remember most is his smile, and a little giggle. I remember he was calm in crises and always seemed to know what to do. I was new and green and marveled at how nothing seemed to shake him, no matter the situation he stayed calm and took care of business. He was very kind to me as I learned how to navigate my new job. He will be missed. Peg-I am so sorry that you have lost your husband and best friend. I hope good memories help you make it through these difficult days and months to come.

  6. Peg and Family,
    Prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. Remember and cherish all the years shared with Bruce. He will always be there with you.

    All my love

    Hi Peg I worked with you at SE Human Services a long time ago so just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  9. Peg, and family,
    Words seem inadequate to express my heavy heart and the memories I have of working with both of you. I always valued and respected Bruce as a collegue and mentor. Thinking of you all.
