So sorry to hear of the passing of Bruce. I was his medical advocate for a year or so when he was first trying to qualify for benefits. He loved his children and sister very much --and remained brave throughout his most difficult struggle in his latter years. ––Hammakom y'achem etchem b'toch sh'ar availai tziyon ee yerushalamyim.

My deepest sympathy to Bruce's sons, sister, and other family. Bruce and I were colleagues in the Psychology Department at Riverside Hospital for many years. We shared many memories, fondness for "classic rock", and laughs. He always called me "Big Sis" and he was the "Little Brother " in our Psychology family, (since I arrived at Riverside about a year before he did), headed by our boss and good friend, the late Dr. Don Killian. He was very proud of Adam and Ben and shared many stories about them. He was a respected psychologist.and good friend. I have a bottle of wine with a picture of a Rorshach card on the front, which I always intended to give him as a gift, but sadly, forgot it the last time I saw him several years ago. I will open it and drink a toast to his memory. RIP, my friend.
