Many are the days I still remember Bruce. We had been in classes together at Condit and El Roble. We had been in Cub and Boy Scouts together. At the time he was a Progress-Bulletin paper boy, as was I, and he was killed on the way to his paper route, where I had also delivered. He was hit by a car while crossing Foothill Blvd at Mountain Ave. I wasn't with him but he had borrowed my "newspaper bike" for the summer and was on it at the time. Minutes later I picked up his scattered newspapers from the street and delivered them. A lot of kids from our grade attended his funeral at the Lutheran Church on Towne Ave. I never pass by Mountain and Foothill without remembering Bruce. We never got to know the good man he would have become. 45 years later, his surviving family must still miss him dreadfully.
