I'm so honored and privileged to have known Bruce in my life. I'll certainly miss his wit and good nature. But most of all I will miss his smile - he brought so many to me. He enriched my life as his wife, Anne, has done for me all these years we have shared together. I'll miss your cooking instructions my good friend!! My love to his family, Anne, Ken, Sarah, and his grandsons. Love Mary, across the street.

I had the privilege of meeting Anne and Bruce when they moved across the street many short years ago. We became fast friends and then I start remembering Bruce teaching me how to cook (at 50 years old no less!) how to do household chores, and just being there for me. Their friendship means the world to me. Bruce and Anne\'s dinners were so much fun with lots of laughs with the neighbors. Bruce had such a shining smile - it would make my day. I have a soft spot when I look at all the pics on my frig and see him smiling with Anne, Ken, Jamy, Sarah and the boys. I was so enriched and blessed by Bruce\'s friendship and I miss my friend! My love to the entire MacDonald family, from Mary across the street:)

Anne, My deepest and most heartfelt thoughts to you and your family on the passing of your beloved Bruce. From the moment we met the two of you we knew that we had met a very special couple! Since those long ago days we have regaled in those memories of life and living in the PNW and our unforgettable time spent getting to know all of our wonderful neighbors and sharing such fun times on Tregaten Lane! I thank God for allowing you and Bruce to come into our lives and fill it with life affirming moments that remain with us to this day! God bless and be with you and bring you peace and comfort in the memories of your wonderful and amazing husband. God bless you Bruce. Love to you both.....

Bruce will be missed for sure, I had the opportunity to met Bruce in his second tour of Portland, OR.at the work place. I appreciate the opportunity to share in conversations over single malt scotch and cigars., which were not lit. Family and friends were the main topic in most of these talks. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Anne and your family. Mark Warner and family.

I am sad to hear of Bruce\\\'s passing. Though I am relieved he is not suffering. I know Bruce from working at Sun Valley back in the day. I remember two distinct things. One is his great sense of humor. He had a large hard bound Farside comic book that he placed on the counter so anytime we became overwhelmed we just went to the book, read a comic and left laughing ready to persevere. The second was the wonderful Friday Bagels with all the trimmings, what a treat, he spoiled us. God Bless Bruce and Family.
