Courageous Role Model

  1. I have so much respect and love for both Bruce and Carol. I knew them from my last 5 years on the Asheville Sports Commission. Bruce was one of the Founding Members who brought the SoCon Basketball Tournament back to Asheville. My memory goes back to last year when I was diagnosed with a squamous cell tumor on my forehead. It was traumatic and required very serious surgery. By chance, Bruce and I both were patients at the same dermatology clinic. So I saw him on the days we both had appointments; always with Carol at his side. I was totally freaked out about my diagnosis and surgery, but I know that Bruce was dealing with a more serious cancer issue. He was calm and smiling, always willing to listen to me and give me sage advice. He was so courageous and stoic. He will always be a role model for me as the classic example of “Grace under Pressure!” Rest in Peace Bruce!
