Please accept my condolences on the loss of a good friend and fellow official. Bruce was a mentor for quite a few young officials coming up the ladder and I was privileged to have been apart of those. Rest assured that Bruce is now ina better place and free of the human pain that he was enduring.

Bruce officiated a lot of my basketball games when I coached in West Virginia. I will always remember him as a fair man. I will never forget the good times we all had with people like Doc Baker, Tony Lusk, Claude Miller and Jack Butler. It was a pleasure to know such a nice man. Thank you Bruce for the memories.
Doug
