Utterly dumbfounded. I was going to stop by and see him the next time I was in Nashville. Rest In Peace, Bruce.

This is really sad news. Bruce was one of the smartest and most respected voices on this message board. His contributions and advice was welcomed and respected. His knowledge and understanding of turbos was first-rate and we will miss his posts. Rest easy, buddy...

Yea Bruce had a real good understanding with mechanical loads, and making HP.

Just noticed Bruce had sent me a classic funnny on FB MSNGR about a week earlier.

Never met him, but his guidance on this forum had a way of feeling like we were friends for decades. RIP Bruce. Prayers to the family.

I've been away from the forum for several years and I'm very saddened to read of Bruce's passing. Years ago, when he learned one of my children was sick and going to Nashville for treatment, he shared his cancer story and gave me his phone number in case we needed anything while there. I never called him, and never got to meet him. Godspeed.
