My condolences to the Bolt family. Bruce was my boss from 1981 to 1983. He was only a couple of years older, but so much wiser. He was a great boss and I learned so much from him. I was so glad to catch up with him at a conference in Tampa a few years ago. God bless!

I am very sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. He was a classmate of mine in Surrattsville SHS, Class of 1971. In case you did not know, there is a Facebook group just for Class of ’71 and a separate FB group for all-classes alumni. I am sure that Bruce’s classmates other than myself would appreciate being informed of his passing so that they may also express their condolences. We care about our classmates and are planning our 50th Class Reunion.
