I just recently learned of Bruce’s passing. I was so sorry to hear that. I worked with Bruce at New Cumberland. We shared a mutual love of dogs and often times exchanged stories about our various pets. He was a genuinely nice guy. God bless your family and rest in peace, Bruce!

Bruce was truly a kind hearted person. He also was a very intelligent person who would constantly overwhelm me with certain facts and figures. Always willing to lend a helping hand for any situation including both professional and personal. I worked with Bruce back in 2010 at the NCAD. Craig Shade

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. He was such a fine person & will be greatly missed, I know. He was always such a pleasure to work with & be around. Bruce always had some story or anecdote for every situation (in true Irish fashion!) Our thoughts & prayers are with you. God bless…Larry & Marci Bressler & crew (Caleb, Cody, Evan, Ethan, Alex, Anna, Joni & Jacie)
