When my family and I moved to Boulder when I was 3 years old, it meant leaving behind extended family and my grandmother in Tampa. But, we were moving closer to my grandfather, Bruce. Growing up, he was a constant in my life. From weekly dinners at our house, to him cheering me on at my gymnastics meets (or any sport I played!) But ironically, my favorite memories are when we'd be saying goodbye... because wether we'd be leaving his house, or he'd be leaving ours, he'd hold up his hand with his thumb, index and pinky fingers up and facing me, which always meant "I love you." He'd always say, "I love you fiercely baby girl", and growing up, he was the only man besides my father that I knew truly meant it. He is missed beyond measure, and his spirit forever with us. I love you fiercely.

How Bruce loved learning. Shared his reading. Loved learning the piano. And his art. But his main thoughts were his family and how proud he was of them. He loved life.

I was lucky to call Bruce my grandfather. Some of my favorite memories of him were when he would play the piano and Jackie would play the flute in their condo for us. I just loved hearing them make music together. It was so special.

The first time I saw Bruce I walked on a tennis court. He was playing with a ball machine and I asked him if he was an instructor. He said "No but I would be willing to help you girls." He showed up for all our games for years. He became a good friend to all of us.

Bruce was my favorite tennis umpire ever! I requested him for every event I had! We had great conversations and laughed all the time. He was the best! ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear this. I feel very blessed to have known Bruce and have beautiful memories of our years of piano together.

Bruce was a neighbor on South Street. I did not live at 2323 south. There are so many fun stories…. I remember him having a garage sale. I "bought" a coffee grinder. When I asked how much he said "I'll give you two." I was confused then I laughed. He was trying clean up his apartment and it was about getting rid of stuff and not about making money. I laughed then, I understand it now.
We used to bike together. On one ride he got mad and he told me "I was the most competitive person he had ever met." I guess he was trying to get ahead of me and I was just trying to keep up with him. Now who was the competitive person? Both of us. I have laughed about this many times.
