Patrick Hughes wrote a sympathy message

“The "Professor" as he was known, was the best man at our wedding in 1967. Over the years our lives took us in different directions but when our paths did cross, and they frequently did, it was going back to 1963 and 1964. His humor and wit had never left him. We'll miss Bruce but the fond memories will last. Godspeed my friend and you'll never have to worry about us putting our hands on the dash of your 57 Ford again. Pat Hughes”
