We had the honor of working with Bruce as part of the Bugler Corps at Tahoma National Cemetery. He spent 5-6 days a month there, in addition to special events, providing military honors for deceased veterans. He was an excellent player and a good friend. He will be missed. Attached are some photos from May 2007, a national celebration of Echo Taps at national cemeteries throughout the country.

ReplyDeleteOne Bruce story that I thought I would share . . . . A few years ago Brae and I came out to Seattle for Thanksgiving and Bruce was nice enough (as was his style) to drive out to the airport and pick us up. On the 20-30 minute drive back to the city Bruce regaled us with stories of his antics in shuttling around students interviewing at the University of Washington Medical School (or Residency). I in particular recall a story where he had some of the prospective students thinking that he was actually an interviewer and, another time, that he was one of their fellow interviewees! Safe to say he had us laughing most of the drive.
We are thinking about you often. We love you and hope you can feel our support from across the country.
Seth and Brae
