Condolence From: Nancy Slurff
Condolence: I am a daughter of Henry and Miriam Bernhardt. My mother is Bruce's cousin. Growing up my mother often talked of the summers she spent during her childhood with her cousins in upstate NY. I had the great privilege of sailing to the Bahamas sometime in the late 70's with Bruce and my father from Ft. Lauderdale. I was never so sea sick in my life! It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again if I had the chance. Bruce's sense of humor can't be matched! Numerous memories come to mind of things Bruce said that had me laughing. I was fortunate to make it to Winter Harbor once and loved the quaint town and beautiful "cool" summer unlike South Florida. My heart is saddened but comforted knowing Bruce is no longer suffering. I enjoyed reading the email updates Jan sent that my parents forwarded to me. I wish I wrote as poignantly!
God Bless all who share with having known and loved Bruce!

Condolence From: Beth Clark and Jim Bean
Condolence: Bruce was definitely a great character in our lives. Jim enjoyed talking computers, ham radio, and boating with him over the years. Though the death of anyone, (especially a parent for us) is devastating, I must say Bruce had a truly full life with his family, friends, and travel. Our thoughts are with you along with fond memories of Bruce.
