  3. 1995 was a defining year in my life. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, had it not been for Bruce walking in to my communications class to let us know Hofstra had a radio station, I would not be where I am today. Almost 30 years later I still love my job and love radio! Bruce’s legacy runs too far and too deep to even begin to calculate the impact he had on so many people. Rest In Peace. With love, Adam Zuckerberg

  6. What a wonderful man… Bruce’s presence at WRHU was so paternal in nature. I’m the daughter of community volunteer, Giovanna Auriemma & would frequently spend Saturday mornings at WRHU from infancy through college. I was always so excited to see Bruce on a random weekend or any WRHU event we went to. His gentle, kind, supportive personality shines through all the students who had the privilege of knowing him and learning from him. Bruce instilled a love of music in all its forms in WRHU. May his memory live on with pride. My deepest & sincerest condolences to all who love him.

  8. My heart is sad today hearing of the passing of Bruce Avery, a man who always had his door open to me for a quick chat or providing me with the opportunity to discuss my show and get nothing but support and affirmation from. I will miss him dearly and am so glad that I went to his retirement party at Hofstra University where I met his lovely wife and daughter. Blessing and prayers for his eternal soul in Heaven and to his beloved family. Love, Vincent

  20. candleIn times of darkness, love sees…

    In times of silence, love hears…

    In times of doubt, love hopes…

    In times of sorrow, love heals…

    And in all times, love remembers.

    May time soften the pain

    Until all that remains

    Is the warmth of the memories

    And the love.

  24. The words “kindness“ and “gentleness” are what I use to describe my experience with Bruce. Those qualities made him an excellent leadership head coach especially in LT138. It is great to meet such a fine spirit.

  26. candleBruce you will be missed! Having met you and worked with you on the anti-bullying conferences we hosted at Hofstra gave me the opportunity to meet an amazing human being full of life caring compassion . You taught me so much , and we shared so much ,
    Although I did not join Momentum , not that you didnt try, your personality and love affected me greatly . I will continue my work to combat bullying for both of us in the future. Rest in Peace my friend.

  29. candleSimply LOVE. Bruce always made it look so easy. May we all be brave enough to give as freely and love as fully as Bruce. I am eternally grateful to have known him and to have laughed with him. I will never forget who he was and how he lived his life. I will remember the way his love could light a dark room.
