Damn...I remember reading of he being lucky at a track event a few years ago...had an attack and a cardiologist happened to be standing right there.
Sad news...RIP.

RIP Bruce. He was a big part of the tech sessions we held in Oklahoma. I met him many times and he advised me on the purchase of my 911.

Amazing man, amazing knowledge.....he gave me a couple of personal replies to questions when I was just starting on the Porsche scene a number of years ago. Knowlegeable, sensible and friendly.
I will weep today for a good man who has passed on....godspeed and with my prayers.... Dennis |

I had a chance to meet and chat with Bruce at Jerry Woods' shop a few years back (even got his autograph
 ). RIP Bruce, you will be missed.

One of the first things I did after getting my car was to take his class. He was an icon. Goodbye, sir.

I bought his book before I ever owned a 911. I thought I wanted a 911 and after reading his Performance Handbook, I knew I had to own one.
RIP Mr. Anderson
