We lost an amiable classmate when Bruce died May 7, 2025, shortly before our 65th reunion.

Raised in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Bruce graduated from North Tarrytown High School, where he joined the tennis and basketball teams and honed his pool skills. With us, Bruce majored in sociology and joined Cannon Club, where he supported the club’s IAA sports efforts.

After a term with the armed services, Bruce earned an MBA at Columbia in 1964. His career was spent largely in business development and acquisition, for many years with C.R. Bard, where he concentrated on identifying and acquiring new ventures in the medical device and technology sectors,

Bruce and Carol married in 1974, raised Brett and Melissa and in time enjoyed their grandchildren, Elijah and Evelina. Bruce is survived by Carol, their families, his brother and sister, and many nieces and nephews. We extend the class’s sympathies to them all.
