Bruce spent most of his working life as a professor of business management at the University of Dallas in Irving, TX. Previously he had worked in the field of reinsurance and was a vice president of a small company. His Reinsurance and Risk Management expertise led him to give many outside seminars all over the U.S. But he was best known for his Capstone classes which combined all the knowledge the students in the Masters of Business had gathered and allowed them to work with an actual company’s leadership to help come up with viable solutions to a specific problem. This would be their final class before graduation – their Capstone class.
In his spare time he enjoyed table tennis, tennis, spending time with his grandchildren, hiking in the mountains with family, reading, giving seminars, and playing bridge. Bruce played the clarinet in his band, Sound Judgement. He had many fond memories of performances and enjoyed listening to Jazz any chance he could. Bruce's friends and family will remember him as an upbeat, positive, happy, supportive friend.
He is preceded in death by a brother and sister.
