Carol, I was shocked to learn last week that Bruce had passed away. We had kept in touch over the years but not in the last several years. Bruce had introduced me to Chicago one Thanksgiving weekend from the University of Wisconsin when I stayed at his family home in Glencoe. I will miss him. Larry and Andrea Gold

Carol, I was crushed to learn this morning of Bruce’s death. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family. As you know, we have been in California for almos t 9 years and have lost touch with most of our friends in Chicago. I didn’t know that Bruce was sick, so this came as quite a shock to us. He was a close friend of mine since he moved to Glencoe and I have many warm memories of him. Iliana is also very sad and sends her best wishes. We will never forget him.
