Bruce your a great guy and a hard person to replace. How did I know that when I met you during our Sports Turf Managers Association meetings a friendship would develop .You were a strong board member and helped keep our STMA chapter alive during our low times. Every time I see Jeff Bridges I will think of you, with your guitar and singing.
Peace and Gods Blessings

Uncle Bruce,
Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for teaching me that I am a "Bates" by birth and no one can take that away or deny me that. You always cared and always had time for me. You were an amazing man who will be greatly missed by all. I love you!
Love,
Mona
Bruce, You will always be my University of Miami baseball buddy and I'll always remember the moments we shared together as "friends of Burt."
Your friend always.
