    Very sorry to hear about Bruce's passing. Bruce was a generous contributor for many years and shall be missed. There were times when I wouldn't hear from Bruce for many months, only to suddenly start quite the e-mail exchange. He was very helpful at pointing out opportunities to help other customers, to improve a product, or to make an adjustment on our web site. He really leaves behind a positive and active impression among Parallax people.

    Certainly gives me pause to consider how we will help others with their projects, too, as he seemed to have the time to answer many questions.

    Bruce's family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.
