I found out this morning. Bruce and I had many huge political arguments on the forum, as many of you know, and sometime ago, carried those arguments over to personal emails. Out of that, we became very very good friends and communicated by phone, and emails regularly. Still arguing at times of course, but with a knowledge that he was one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met.

Thank God that the political forum was there at the time, otherwise I would have missed out on becoming friends with someone whom I came to have the deepest respect for.

I will miss him very much. His wit, his concern for the underdog and his distaste for the arrogance of the privileged were all part of who he was, an extremely honest and open man, and one who made a very positive impact on my life. Thank you, Bruce for your friendship, your sharing part of your life with me and with us. Godspeed on your new ride, amigo. Godspeed.
