Sweet kind wonderful you ... Bruce I am so saddened to have learned of your death. Even though we met only a small while ago I am truly honored to have known you. You were a wonderful human being who knew how to brighten up my day...you made the best blueberry pancakes!!! You will be forever missed rip my sweet friend I love you always love sabrina

Cousin oh Cousin you were like a bright light being turned on when you entered the room! You so loved your family! You loved our families customs, our foods & our get together's! You & I were close throughout the years which goes all the way back from the huge family Passover Seders when we were mere children. You called me every year to remind me that it was your grandmothers yahrzeit(we called it Anu) & that always impressed me about you! You were taken from this earth well before your time & you will be forever missed by us all who knew & loved you. Rest in peace my cousin.

so orry for your loss sue and to the loss for your family my deepest condolences

Bruce..we lived across the street from each other most of our lives...you made me laugh every time I saw you and I will ALWAYS have wonderful memories of you...you will be dearly missed!!

Bruce, I am just beside myself with the news of your passing. I am extremely grateful that we got back in touch and ended up working together. From you I learned forgiveness. You were an amazingly bright light, & your memory will live on forever. I am happy, honored, and blessed to be able to call you my friend. RIP brother.

Sweet Bruce, You will be a part of me always. Your intelligence, humor, beauty, style - okay maybe not the Tom McCann Earth Shoes - we had the same ones with the braided leather. They looked better on you. Everything did.  In Jr. High, in Chuck and Mara's basement, I cut your shiny, blonde hair with pinking shears and you still looked amazing. I will always think of you when I hear the B-52s, drink a martini,  or see a dashing guy with a sense of flair.  You brought joy to my cranky and awkward adolescence. Thank you for being my friend. A piece of my heart belongs to you, honey. xoxoxoxo

While we spent most of our lives on separate coasts, we spoke often, and when we were together there was always shenanigans.  You will be missed and never forgotten.

No one could be down for long when Bruce was around. His smile was contagious!!

Bruce, although we went to school together and were in the same graduating class, it was not until later in our adult life did our friendship grow. Thank you for moving back to NY, you have given me such fun memories. You have seen me through two pregnancies and I recall you taught me the term "pump and dump", never did a cocktail taste so good post pregnancy! We shared many fantastic and fab memories, many hours of party planning, and brainstorming for the perfect party. I will miss you my dear friend, RIPP- (in Prada forever)! xoxo

You will be missed here at Monter. I was just asking where you have been the other day. I will miss your stories and your kindness. My prayers go out to your family.

Bruce you are such a big part of the happy memories of growing up in Long Beach and all the wild and outragous stories you would tell.  You are a wonderful friend to my sister and a powerful force of love and free spirit.  My kids only met you once but just like my husband Bill and I they will never forget oyu.

i didnt know you, but iknew how much your sister loved you and you fought so hard.  may you have some peace.

It is so hard to think of Bruce in the past tense. His spirit and energy were always larger than life. His passing will leave a huge void in the lives of all the people who loved him including myself and my family. We all have wonderful memories of our funny, engaging,fabulous Bruce that I know we can draw comfort from. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our deepest sympathies are with Susan, Mr. Goldberg and the whole family.

Bruce will be missed by everyone who knew him or ever met him. He brought life and color into this world and he will bring it into the next. He will be missed.
Uncle Allan and Aunt Clarice.

Truly the saddest day of my life. He was my best friend for 26 years and I can't imagine life without him. He brought a smile to everyone's face even at times when he had every reason to be down. I have soooo many hysterical memories of Bruce that I will cherish forever. One of my most favorite lines he ever used was when I got a haircut he liked. He told me "that's an elegantly coiffed, traffic stopping eyeful".  I will miss him everyday but feel truly blessed to have had him in my life.

Bruce was a warm, gentle, kind human being. I have Wonderful memories of him in both elementary school and HS. He had a smile that was contagious! May his family always be comforted by his fond memories.

Your smile, wit, laughter and devoted friendship will be missed by all.  I was privileged to know you throughout our teens and then reconnect as adults - sharing some fun photo ops along the way.  May memories be a comfort to everyone who knew you during this time.

I don't remember much about Bruce, but I do remember he was my friend's brother. Dearest Susan, Praying that God keeps you in perfect peace during this time in your life.

I remember being on an overnight with camp and our mission was to move the potted plant, I also remember listening to the B52's downstairs in your house on Kirkwood street.

Bruce loved his family and friends with all his heart. He's optimism , and quick witted sense of humor was always present.
I will miss him as I know all whom knew him will.

You were my best friend throughout our youth, I have known you since we were 13 years old. We had lots of fun together and you always made me laugh. I will miss your humor, quick whit, laughter and friendship. You may be gone, but you can never be forgotten my friend.

Bruce you were my brother, my friend, I will always miss you and love you forever....We had our share of fights but in the end we always kissed and made up.. RIP
