Farewell to a Dedicated Reader

 I just found out from Minnesotastan that xoxoxoBruce has died. Very sad news. Bruce was a regular contributor to the comments section here, sent me links, and was a regular correspondent. I just received his Christmas card the other day, postmarked December 11th but for some reason it took more than a month to get here. Bruce was always ready with a joke, ready to be friends, and quite generous. Bruce helped keep me afloat a few years ago when I got laid off from Mental Floss and times were tough. I couldn't be more grateful.

You'll find tributes to Bruce at TYWKIWDBI and Nag on the Lake. You can read more about him at the Chevy SSR Forum. Godspeed, you wonderful old fart.

It's always sad when a blogging buddy passes on, and it sounds like he was a good friend to you and others. Condolences to all.

Always quick with a witty comment. May he rest easy in the big 404 in the sky.
