I did not know the man, but I remember him from some of the threads. His avatar is one of those that stick with you.
My condolences to his family, friends, and all that mourn his passing.

Rest in peace, Bramela. I hope his family finds this thread and sees how well regarded he was here.

Very sad news.
We won't forget you, Bruce.

Sad, yet it's rewarding to read all these beautiful tributes and realize how many people Bruce touched. I knew him best through a very popular thread he started:
Alphabet Race (a very quick game).

A while back in that thread I posted a Scrabble themed tribute to the Alphabet Race game. The tiled words are User Names and picture subjects which were commonly seen in the thread at the time.
Now, I'd like to share it as a tribute to Bramela.

P.S. I would've spelled out "Bramela", but there weren't enough tiles.
And I know Bruce had a sense of humour, so I'm sure he'll forgive me.

Very sad indeed to loose someone so valued for this forum. I say this because of all that I am being taught in this forum by many senior members like Bruce 'Bramela'.
My respect and salute stand by his legend with awe for the dedication at his age for a forum like this.
I pray that his family gets the comfort and support from almighty above at this time of challenge. I am sure he has left behind his skills and his talents live among the very many members here.

It looks like Bruce and I joined the forum about the same time but his contributions were much greater than mine. It's always sad after the loss of a valued forum member. My condolences to his family.

Sad news. I knew him through the Single Challenges where he was a regular contributor.
He was always friendly, a top bloke.
He will be missed.
My thoughts are with his family at this time.
