To the Howe Family,
Both my husband Jim and I always enjoyed our little talks with Bruce in the pool. It's the only place we ever ran into each other and was always fun. When my husband passed away in May of 2017 during bypass surgery, Bruce was so upset for me and always said he thought Jim was such a nice man. I was so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing, but I picture now both Jim and Bruce having one of their very interesting talks. RIP Bruce and God Bless your Family.
Fondly,
Barbara Phelan

We will miss you so much, Uncle Bruce. There are so many wonderful memories from all our family gatherings. I’ll always remember when you and Aunt Patty helped my parents move me into UNH my freshman year (on your way to visit Denise in Boston). I always enjoyed our conversations and listening to your interesting and funny stories. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace.
Love, Marianne, Tim, and Claire Pruiett

Dear Patty and Family,
Bruce could always give good advice and listen like he was more than half way interested in what you had to say. He helped me as a teenager before I went into the military. I remember riding around in his car and talking with him about boot camp. Plus, talking with him about his experiences in Linden when he was of similar age. He taught me to always "take things in stride." Later in life, he got me to pay a little more attention to Rutgers Football. It was always great to visit and watch a baseball game with him. May our sincere condolences be with you all.

Dear Patty and Family, When I think of Bruce, a smile comes to my face! I am happy to have many good memories of Bruce over the five decades that I have known him. First of all, he loved his wife and family very much as well as his friends and acquaintances. He was a great conversationalist and truly interested in whoever he was speaking to. He passionately loved sports...watching in person or on TV and also golfing and jogging. I am blessed to have known such a wonderful person!
Rest in peace, Bruce

Uncle Bruce will be missed. He was always a pleasure to be around. Uncle Bruce would always strike up conversations about what was going on in our lives. Most of our conversations revolved around sports, particularly baseball and golf. We also had some great times playing at Roselle Golf Club where he was a member. Things won't be the same without him there. He is loved by many

Love,
Ed, Aimee, Lucas & Audrey Bajor

Dear Uncle Bruce,

Every time the Bajors would visit you, Aunt Patty, Denise, and Edward in Linden, I could always count on the following: hearing you discuss sports, politics, the current state of affairs, or a book you just read...and it was always interesting to hear whatever you had to say. It was always a lively and informative discussion, and everyone listened when you spoke, because you had both a commanding voice and you were passionate about the subject. I will greatly miss those times.

I'm sorry that we can't say goodbye in person at this time. We are thinking about you. Rest in peace.

Love, Jason + Patrick
