Totally shocked and very sadened by the news of Bruce's passing through this forum, like yesterday I remember he did my pre-training program line check on the 767 (VH-RMG) circa 1992, what a wonderful and pleasant day it was. He was very supportive and praise on that 4 leg day up and down on the East coast, and always kept track of my progress in Ansett and gave encouragement during my career even when I gained my command. All I can say is I feel very sad by this news, and will remember Bruce with great fondness.
