Bruce was always so kind to all of us kids during family get togethers. A really good man with great stories. I always appreciated his presence.  Glad he had a long full life.
Glad to have known you sir.

With your vision the DC-2 was restored.  Lots of time and hard work by you and the team made it happen,  Thank you for the 1st Flight dedicated to our Dad - "Wilcox", "Willie".  This tribute and day will always will be remembered.  My Mom and our family was proud of the DC-2 team.  All my sisters send heart felt condolences, Nancy, Norma, Donna.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Bruces passing. He and I developed a great friendship, when we met at the Reno Air Races in the mid-1970s. Our passions were Aircraft photography, and the love of WWII Aircraft. When the Races started, he and I would get to the gate about 4AM, so we could run and get the best bleacher seats! Being younger, I usually got there first, and saved Bruces seat. Later in 1985, we developed a friendship with the local Sunrise Club there, and volunteered for AM Gate duty. We checked car stickers, and wristbands. Lots of perks - coffee, donuts, sandwiches, small gifts. We were off-duty at 10AM, got free parking/entry passes! Then later, we got invites to the control Tower. A book could be written about all the ways some folks tried to snooker us to get in - Bruce was real savvy to this, he knew how to catch someone! We had lots of laughs afterwards! Bruces last year there was 2007, mine 2011. I missed Bruce, as I worked the gate alone. I lost a great Friend also, that cannot be replaced....Thanks my good friend, for all the great memories we shared..Marilyn and Bruces family, may God bless all of you, and you have my deepest condolences.

We are deeply saddened by Bruce's death.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  May God bless you.

Pat and  Bill Crank, sister and brother-in-law.
