A. Bruce Neuman ’63

Body

Our class lost one its finest when Bruce died of cancer Sept. 10, 2002, in Media, Pa. Bruce was born and raised in Philadelphia, and graduated from Haverford School, where he acquired the nickname Zoom. At Princeton he majored in English and was a member of the special program in American civilization. His roommates were Larry Hill, Bruce Hermelee, Steve Klausner, Steve Grotsky, and Lyn Goldberg. After graduation, Bruce attended the U. of Miami Law School and became a criminal trial lawyer who was known nationally for his trial skills and ability in the courtroom.

Waiting until he met the perfect woman, Bruce finally found Connie, and they were married last year. Bruce was loved by everyone for his easygoing manner, his sense of humor, his casual perspective on life, and his unassuming nature. Bruce was an avid sports fan and a Philadelphia Eagles devotee. He is survived by Connie, with whom he had a deep and loving relationship, and to whom the class extends its sympathy.
