Rex, and others, I'm very sorry for your loss. I never met him that I know of, but Bruce sounds like a great guy and a loss for the Pontiac community.

I will pass on one bit of advice, for what its worth. Rex, or another close friend should contact the family and make sure they don't sell any of his collection of cars or parts until things have settled. The sharks/vultures will attack quickly and I don't want this family to be a victim after a loss like this. Make sure they get pricing advise before letting anything go.

If they would like, they can post question here on PY if needed, I'll make sure they are not deleted or attacked.

RIP Bruce.

Sorry for your loss Rex. I too have lost a friend. His name is John, and he was also my Brother. He was 62 years young, received his 1st pension check passed away 2 months after. He was almost finished with his 62 Grand Prix. He spent the last five years restoring it. So remember life is short for some of us! I know he is in a better place but that does not make it any easier. I have a small message on my desk from when my wife passed away at the age of 47 from Breast Cancer, it goes' like this, DO NOT REGRET GROWING OLDER. IT IS DENIED TO MANY. Thanks all and have a Merry Christmas!

I was shocked when I found out about Bruce's passing last week at PRI in Indy. Bruce was a great guy! I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Lane Automotive Car Show last summer. I was able to help him out with an Pypes Exhaust for one of his SD and was telling him about a 69 Gto Judge I was looking to buy. He gave me his home number and told me to call if I had any questions. I called him several times since I purchased the car in August to pick his brain or ask about a specific casting number or date code. He was always willing to help or give me a number to a good parts source. He even crawled under one of his Judges to get a casting number off the rear end. I was looking forward to inviting him over to check out the car and to get his approval, he will be missed!
