It sounds like you two had some great times together.<br /><br />Like a lot of bloggers, I didn't know Bruce personally, but exchanged emails now and then. I was completely shocked to hear he's gone; you're very lucky to have been able to create such wonderful memories with him. I'm sorry that he left all of us too early.Mark from Slaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693822706413888384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179600.post-32968436521355299772010-12-12T13:22:07.757-05:002010-12-12T13:22:07.757-05:00Ricky --

Reading commentary from his friends & family in the real world is so enlightening and endearing. My saddest condolences to all.<br /><br />Oh Brucie. My heart will always hurt when I think of him... he probably wouldn't want it that way, but that's the way it is.JJhttp://unrepentantoldhippie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179600.post-32365967742554762842010-12-12T11:37:06.499-05:002010-12-12T11:37:06.499-05:00Thanks for this wonderful history and reflection, ...Thanks for this wonderful history and reflection, Rick. I'm like a lot of bloggers who met Bruce either because he came over for a virtual visit in a most friendly way on particular topics or because I noticed one of his delightful personal posts going by on the feed. I only knew the friendly, generous voice -- we tended to connect on happy topics, when he had just been struck by something skdadlhttp://www.pogge.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179600.post-83024431521971855932010-12-12T11:04:31.698-05:002010-12-12T11:04:31.698-05:00Thanks Rick, for this post and the pics of Bruce. ...Thanks Rick, for this post and the pics of Bruce.

The context of the RL person you knew and enjoyed just adds another dimension to the Bruce we knew in the cyber world. It's comforting to know that he had such moments of joy despite the pain he might have suffered for so many years.<br /><br />I thought I would add a link to 900ft Jesus' beautiful tribute to Bruce:<br /><br /Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179600.post-73811243955776314752010-12-11T22:50:52.721-05:002010-12-11T22:50:52.721-05:00Ricky, I have just read your entire blog and cried...Ricky, I have just read your entire blog and cried my way through the whole thing. I also read the posts from the other bloggers and cried through them as well. <br /><br />Bruce never shared alot his pain with me. I knew abit but certainly you and your fellow bloggers actually knew more. The outpouring from the blogging community has really overwhelmed me. <br /><br />Please be so kind as to Lindahttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1125922664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9179600.post-71888820795562295612010-12-11T21:33:14.918-05:002010-12-11T21:33:14.918-05:00I know he valued his riendship with you, he was ru...I know he valued his riendship with you, he was rude for sure, but then what the heck, thats waht helped get his point out there.

Thanks for sharing the memories and the pics, and for reminding us that behind each character in the virtual world is a real person. <br />As you know I never met Bruce, I knew him through his blog, and his late-night e-mails. We didn't agree about a lot of things. I said he was an atheist looking for God. He called me a smart ass.
