Thanks John for passing this sad news on.  His obit in the newspaper was a very nice tribute even though they did not mention BAM at all!

You're right Karl. I wonder how many are aware that Bruce made some pretty nice models as well as the other things he was involved with.

I'm sad to hear of Bruce's passing.  I had communicated with him over the years and have a few of his wonderful Cadillacs.  Certainly no one knows what will become of his collection, but I feel obligated to mention my previous dealings with his son John.  Do not attempt to conduct business with John.  He is very friendly and communicative to start with, but after he is unable to deliver on an agreement, he becomes evasive and childish.  This post may be poorly timed and I will gladly remove it if that is determined.
