More on Bruce…

Received from Lanita…

Bruce Hildreth had a wonderful send-off on Sunday  3/22  at his softball field at the College of Marin.  The sun came out by 2 pm and, with the scent of barbecuing hotdogs in the air, around 200 people sat on bleachers and folding chairs and heard heart-felt stories of life with Bruce. A number of classmates from Tam were there and are now the proud owners of tee shirts showing “the Blue Bomber” .As the 2 hours of stories wound down and folks started heading to the food, the rain returned in big plops!  Our magical gentle giant…..lanita

Bruce Hildreth

Very sad news received today from Nancy Larsen Dunbar…

Bruce died yesterday of heart failure.  I met Bruce in kindergarten at Old Mill School.
He was always, I mean always, the nicest boy in school, which was to his credit since he was also the tallest, towering over his best friends, Wayne Wilcox and Steve Neely, who were the shortest!
He took care of his friends.  He used to walk me home from school which was way out of his way.
We are lucky we just got a chance to see him again at the reunion.
Rest in peace, Bruce.
Love, Nancy
