Farrell backyard with Dave, Bruce and Iranian exchange student Siyomac - circa ~1975. Being the best athlete, Bruce of course swiped the frisbee. I didn't even try.

Missing Bruce
Bruce was a brilliant man that was my good friend.
Recently we hadn’t been in touch for a number of years. He reached out to me Dec 2020 and we saw each other a couple times before his passing.
I didn’t get responses to my texts and was concerned for his well being. I googled and called around but couldn’t learn anything.
My heart is broken right now as I just learned this.
He spoke very highly about you David. He loved Jack immensely
I’ll see him again. We’ll hug. We’ll talk/share crazy creative thoughts of what more good we wanted to do while on earth. Bruce was brilliant. I miss him. I wish I could have been more available for him.
Bruce… thank you for being such a caring, creative, determined, fun, loyal friend. I miss you. I’m grateful you are a part of my life.
