Meta mollybdenum Posted February 17, 2009 Meta Posted February 17, 2009 I am very sorry that we have lost such a valued member of the editing community. We will always remember him. Trish I will not answer PM or emails sent to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Meta snooks Posted February 17, 2009 Meta Posted February 17, 2009 It's always sad to lose a fellow editor, especially one that was as committed, as dedicated and as honourable as he was. My sincere condolances to his family and loved ones.
jimnoble Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I don't know what to say. He was one of the rocks among metas, quietly getting along with the job and dispensing even tempered wisdom when it was needed. We'll miss him and what he did for us.
Meta cmic Posted February 17, 2009 Meta Posted February 17, 2009 It's a sad news indeed. Bruce was a great editor, one of the best meta and a wise man. What he did for this project is above the average and we'll all miss him a lot. Astronomy was one of his passion, as we can see http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Astronomy/ Just a few hours before he dies, he send us New Year greetings in the internal forum: "And, same time as the last post, Antarctica and the Iternational Space Station." sounds like his words from the space. My condolences to his family. (See also Russian Dmoz homage) dmoz blog
