I recall Bruce as one of the finest young men I was privileged to know at The Citadel. I was a cadet E.E. student (Class of 1956) and I shared some classes with Bruce. I had great respect for all veteran students. They had already served our country and that’s something that I was commited to and looking forward to do as well. Bruce, with his great personality and friendly attitude toward all, stood out from the crowd. I certainly appreciated his friendliness to me. I know that he had a good life. My condolences to all of you who loved this fine man.
