Bruce was a man I admired.
I was sad to see him go. 
He was an excellent businessman and individual who focused on others rather than himself. I think about him often.

My dad coached Bruce at Helix. He was one of my dad's favorites, and he loved the whole Walton family. 

I was about 6 or 7 years younger, and always hung out with the football team. Bruce and Bill both always treated me well despite being a young kid hanging around. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Walton family. God bless!

My name is Jeff Peck and came to San Diego as General Manager of KPRI/KOGO in 1979-82.  Not knowing anyone or spending much time in San Diego, Bruce was one of the first to greet me and help show me around this beautiful city.   His kindness and help made me feel comfortable and we were able to run together on the strand in South Mission and many other places like Bora Bora!  
When I left KPRI/KOGO  Bruce asked me if I would consult KIFM.  I think he knew I felt a little lost and was their for me again at a turning point in my life and career. 

Being the person he was, when i got married he came to our Wedding Party in Rolling Hills Estates

God Bless this Beautiful Man and I love him dearly!

Jeff

My heart is filled with beautiful memories of Bruce. I had known no other manager, son, father, brother or friend as kind and considerate as BW. My fav memory? When I commented to one of his mentors my surprise: "He pursued a career in football when basketball seemed to be his first love."  His surprise was that I knew that.  Bruce loved both sports so much. I admired him more than words. I remember how he ALWAYS shared his Mom's cookies with me. My heart breaks for the Walton family at this time of tremendous loss. God Bless you all.

Bruce and I worked together at KPRI-FM in the '80s. His humor, pragmatism, and generosity of spirit were introduced to so many of us there. He was the sales manager - I worked middays on the air, and we collaborated on so many things big, small, and under pressure. Bruce was a mentor and coach to many - and could disarm even the biggest assholes. What a talent.

He will be missed, and remembered so fondly by so many.

Hi my name is Joe Rubalcaba I played high school football with  Bruce starting with  freshman football the  first time I seen on the football  Field I said I hope that guy doesn’t  tackle me. The last time I seen him was at our   High school 40th reunion we where so happy to see each other. R. I. P. My friend you’ll be missed 🙏🏽

50  years ago Bruce and Bill dominated high school basketball here like few teams have ever done.   Bill got the press, but Bruce was very talented and was key to their success.  He was a beast around the basket, but could get out and run too.  Playing for the second best team back then (Madison), I had the task of guarding both Bill and Bruce 4 times that season (losing all 4 including CIF final), and that alone became a big part of my family history.  With their success my mother bragged on our contests for decades, and how Mrs. Walton told her of a great photo of Bruce and I diving for a loose ball.  I'm glad he had such a great life! It was fun, big guy! -dd
