I was just gutted to hear the news this morning. My heart and thoughts are with Em and Dingus. One of the old great ones has passed.
I have many fine memories of my few climbs with Brutus (and laughing at his TRs). He was always generous with my gumby ways, and didn't laugh even a little as he lured me into trying Generator Crack.

If you change your mind, Hartouni is picking me up in Walnut Creek tomorrow @ 6 am, I believe you're just down the road.
Happy father's day in any case! It's gonna be a phone holiday for me...

"What would Brutus do?"
I'm adding this to my mantra collection. Damn good one.

I just got through sailing and diving around Palau for ten days and I thought I would check in on the taco stand. Reading the headlines just breaks my heart.
Brutus and I did a few climbs together about 10 years ago and would run into each other here and there in the ensuing years. A true climber to the heart. My deepest thoughts and condolences to Em and all of Bruce's family and friends.

I just read 400 posts about a man I never knew. 2 hours into the posts I come across Mooch's photo of the hug and it all hit me, what a great man. Munge, dingus, and all of his "Family", I wish upon you peace after the grieving. That gentleman touched so many with his words, laughter and humility that it poured like a fountain in all of your words and photos.
I feel honored to have read all of your stories and comments in this setting. To those of you who shared moments with Bruce, my condolences.
sincerely
Josh Mucci
