Lynn Very sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I have very fond memories of the time he spent at the farm. Especially the day he won with Quarter Pounder! My condolences to you and the family. Sincerely, Neil

Bruce always told me I should take Kylie home. She's not a real dog. I knew he was fibbing. I always said his wife would miss her. Now we're missing you Bruce. My condolences to your family and Kylie... because this isn't real.

Dear Lynn and family, We were very sad to learn of Bruce's passing. Our friendship with him goes back to the 1980s at Monticello when we worked for Walter Case, Jr. and shared a barn together. Bruce was always quick with a smile and a kind word. We were pleased to cross paths with him once again when he was racing at The Meadowlands the last few years. He would go out of his way to stop by the paddock office so we could catch up. With warm memories and deepest condolences, Jim & Ramona
