That's very sad, one of the good guys.

Still reeling from the shock.
Every now and again when a bit of advice was required by an SD someone, be they old or new, I simply and frequently posted ‘Calling Bruce, calling Bruce….” and sure enough he would “come in” with his usual sage-like advice. Hard to take in that in future my calls will remain unanswered.
Thank you MJ for your wisdom and advice, so freely and generously given. Tonight, like others in the SD massive I will raise a glass in salute to you and all that you did for us.
We were truly blessed to have you in our little fraternity, sir….

Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me on more than one occasion. He will be missed. RIP

What a tragic loss to his family, friends and the shooting community as a whole.
I only spoke to him 5 week's ago about recommendations for my next and final upgrade.
He said he was going to slow down a bit and not do so much on the forums.
This is the end of a very long era of advice he freely gave to help everyone who was taking the plunge into the dark side.

Deeply saddened to hear of this, Billy. His knowledge, expertise and banter will absolutely be missed by all that knew him.
Only known him a few short years but humbled to say that I did. Will be raising a glass to him.

Terrible news
I always enjoyed his posts and he has imparted his knowledge on more than one occasion.
Even on the internet he seems to be a proper gentleman.
Hope everything goes as easy as possible for his family and friends

Really sad news, I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce earlier this year at the FMS Fisheries Enforcement Conference in Dunkeld where he was helping out with the Hik demonstration stand.
Sat and had lunch with him and had a good chat about the SD and all things thermal.
A really decent guy and sad to hear of his passing.

I did find his sell off a little odd and worrying, but presumably he was diagnosed and started planning for the eventual.
Sad news, my condolences to his friends and family.

Just got in to read this. What terrible news.
I remember his help I don't know how long ago on the Night Vision Forum. Probably 15yrs ago. I was building a DIY night vision sight in the early days of the E700 board cams. Ever since those days, whenever I had a question about night vision or thermal, he was sure to pop up with a genuine pragmatic reply which was always appreciated and thoroughly helpful.
Very sad news and surprisingly shocking even though I never knew him personally or directly. I think that shows how well embedded and respected he was in our little world

Crikey, that's a shock. Terrible news, I sent him a number of DMs over the past 2 years or more, he always came back with such detailed responses that I invited him to come out with me if ever in my neck of the woods. Sadly that won't happen now.
My condolences to family and close friends.

My condolences to his nearest and dearest. I was in touch with him several times, he dropped in to help me with a problem I had with my bench drill press. A loss to the community, knowledge beyond shooting has gone to his Valhalla. Fair winds, Bruce.
