""For those of us who worked closely with Bruce, we recognize his era was truly unique and exceptional," commented UMA's Ken Presley."
""Looking back, it was a privilege and his influence endures.""
""I loved Bruce because he came from outside our industry... learned it thoroughly, and brought a fresh, trained journalist's perspective to Bus and Motorcoach News. He saw things that many of us would have missed, and was willing to say them, even if edgy. I learned a ton from him about buses and writing.""
