Worked with Bruceat Original New York Seltzer. Was a privilege to know him as a co worker and friend. RIP Bruce.
My life wouldn’t be what it is now without you!
You taught me so many things. You were my mentor, my friend and very much my sage.
The joy of knowing you was so complete – with humor you gently shared how to live a good and loving life.
May your spirit continue its warmth and love.
Blessed Be.
Love, Doreen Flynn

Mark,
Thank you so much for this post. So beautifully written and so accurate of his demeanor. “Lose the suit” made me laugh out loud! I could literally hear him say it. Thank you again for your shared memories. Our memories are what keep him alive, right?
Best regards,
