The passing of Bruce is a big loss to the spatial community and many of us who know and worked with him closely. He is a visionary, an innovator, a friend and mentor. He has dedicated all of his public career to the growth and promotion of spatial. We all remember his humour and cheeky smile. We'll all miss him!
