To Bruce's family and friends, such a testament from so many who worked with Bruce and who befriended him all these years. It was so great to see him at our 50th class reunion and he definitely had a good time. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am very saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Bruce at UConn. Bruce had a zest for life and a special energy that was contagious. He had the ability to see the bottom line of any situation. He was honest with integrity in his business dealings, but did not lack a big sense of humor...! His father brought me into this world and was my doctor growing up.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, especially his second family of Reka, John, John Michael and Liam.
The world was a better place having Bruce in it. He will be missed.

Amazing I've been away from Stafford Springs for SO long....Bruce was just a little guy when his sister Linda and I were good friends and reading buddies. Wonderful family!

It was very sad to see that Bruce has died. I worked with him at Manchester Community College in the early days, 1975 or so. I think this was his first employment that wasn't directly soccer related. He was so sweet to work with and always respectful and professional, but with a sense of humor. My condolences to his family and dear friends.

My deepest condolences go out to the DeTora family. My his spirit bring joy and happiness to God's children in heaven.
I am deeply saddened to learn of Bruce's passing. I worked with Bruce at UConn. He was a good man, leader, and human being. I loved watching him interact with children. I would see him go out running on his lunch break, all around the campus. My thoughts and prayers are with Bruce's family, friends and Reka and family. Rest in peace Bruce.
