If you've never had a friend like Bruce, you're really missing someone. I was a fourteen-year-old kid when we first met, in the eighth grade at St. Elizabeth's, where he was the new priest. The next year, I was a freshman at an all-girls academy and Bruce had taken a position as religion teacher. He gave me the first "C" of my young life, and I figured out he must know something about God that I didn't. I decided to find out. His office was always open, or if it wasn't, I could slip a note under his door, knowing all my adolescent concerns would be kept between the two of us. Back then, if I said, "Keep the faith, baby," I knew he would. When I graduated and started to drift away from the Lord, he was there. "If you're doing stuff you couldn't tell your mother, you're living a lie," he said. And so I turned my life around, I repented, because of Bruce. If I'd never had a friend like Bruce, I would have really missed someone. But I didn't miss him, until now. Yesterday, he died.
