Golf- Remember when you honor one vet you honor them all.
We have so much to be grateful and it starts with the people who have made peace possible.
Thanks, golf nut....another very nice gesture from you on behalf of all ihubbers. Very grateful to you.
"As a former Vietnam Vet as Bruce was I'll make every attempt to attend his military burial at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushell,Fl. on all our behalf."
" I really doubt he will EVER be Removed, KittP .. !!
I hope Ihub will keep his name as moderator of the board he created and that helped so many.
Thanks for the very sad update on Bruce. He was super nice guy (with a wonderful wife)and will be missed. As a former Vietnam Vet as Bruce was I'll make every attempt to attend his military burial at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushell,Fl. on all our behalf.
Thank you and the many others for your kinds words for my visit to the now deceased Bruce. Know many of you if you lived closer to him would have done the same.
He saved me a small fortune ..
So very sorry to hear about this. He was so helpful to many of us over the years.
Godspeed Bruce and continued strength to Karen & family.
I've only known Bruce through Ihub for the short time since I discovered such a wealth of knowledge and genuine compassion for his fellow friends.
Bruce not only helped you on the board, he would PM more explicit information gladly and unselfishly. Bruce really was a genuine pleasure to communicate with and I really really doubt one could find an example of Bruce giving a disparaging word. Just Bruce giving his time here was possibly easy to take it for granted as that was the way Bruce was about it. "Ah no problem, glad you fixed it" (with Bruce's help of course).
Also, how many people on Ihub would one trust to take over their home computer remotely. That was the presence of Bruce.
My condolences and prayers of support are with the family of Bruce and may Bruce's legacy and good memories heal the grief in the family's natural due time.
Bruce was one of those real people you occasionally come across in life, generous beyond belief, always positive, just a really good person. And I've never met him in person, but you know someone is special after reading so many of his posts on IHUB.
Came across Bruce on Zeev Head's board designed for traders, and Bruce was pretty darn good at it. But he shared what he thought, what he was doing, for the benefit of all.
He helped me whenever I asked for computer advice, again sharing.
I lost some contact after Zeev died, but heard he was doing great things as an EMT.
Then the illness, and all the pain he endured, but still his posts that I read had a certain inspiration to them.
God would be proud of how you conducted your life, Bruce. Best wishes to his family, you were lucky to spend time with him, and he lucky to have you.
RIP.
Bruce was so generous with his time and in sharing his knowledge here on ihub. I regularly read his posts because his explanations and assistance to others helped me get a better understanding of 'all things computer'. I'll miss his intellect and generosity, and will keep him and Karen in prayer.
He was definitely one of the nicest people I have ever known. So giving of himself. He will be missed by many.
Oh, that is so very sad, but at least all his suffering is behind him now and he can rest in peace. He was a nice man. I liked him. I am so very sorry he is gone, but trust that on this day, as Jesus did before him, he will rise up to everlasting glory in his Father's house. . .

Sad day...
From Facebook:
It saddens me to announce the passing of Bruce Thompson. Please keep Karen, his wife in your prayers as she goes through this difficult time.
Here are some pictures of the good times we shared and how we will remember Bruce.
If you have any pictures you would like to share, please do so.

Thanks golf nut. That was a very kind thing to do. I'm sure Bruce did appreciate it
Thanks for being there when we can't.

golf nut, thanks for doing that. Thanks for letting them know how much we all appreciated Bruce's generosity with his time and his help. He is a good man.
thank you, i absolutely will. regular prayer is a new thing for me. So i am still not confident in my prayers, but my willingness is there
golf nut. Appreciate your gesture for all of us. And delighted to hear that Bruce and his wife
Karen are devoted to church.
Thank you 'golf nut' for representing the Hub.
Bruce is (not was) a great addition to the site and I'm sure he recognized you fully.
He and Karen are in my prayers.

Thank you for visiting Bruce and Karen, and also for sharing your time on behalf of the iHub community. That was special for you to do, and I imagine meant a lot to both of them.
Visited Bruce Thompson and his lovely and devoted wife, Karen, this afternoon(live about 50 miles from the VA). Brought them a card and flowers noting they were from all his IHUB computer BB friends, hope no one minds. Told both they have been in our thoughts and prayers for a long time.
Afraid the end is near as Bruce is no longer talking or taking any nourishment other then droplets of water. Karen said he has dramatically declined this week and today has been very trying as he needs restraining at times even thought he cannot stand.
She thinks he can hear and understand, but not sure. He did smile a little when I told him I was from and represented all his friends from IHUB, even asked him is he was ready to build me a computer.
Both Bruce and Karen have a very strong faith and their church members have helped them immensely. Despite everything Bruce has went through for over a year last week was the first time he missed the weekly church service. What a testament to his faith.
Karen thanks us all for the cards and prayers. Karen is a wonderful woman and wife to Bruce. Unfortunately, their time together isn't what was anticipated. Keep them both in your prayers.
Is it Gainesville, Virginia?
Today Karen posted this update about Bruce:
"Bruce was put into Palliative Care yesterday. This is so very hard. Bruce is talking very little now. He is completely unable to walk. He can't feed himself and as of today he can't drink from a glass or use a straw. When he sees someone he knows he is happy to see them, so there is still some joy in his life. If you live close please come and see us! I could use the visit too! He is in the Gainesville VA Palliative Care. Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers."
https://www.facebook.com/Bruce-Thompson-Glioblastoma-Fight-725371917561421/timeline?ref=page_internal
Continued prayers for both of them.
Thank you for sharing such difficult news. The pain we feel for these two people none of us have ever met shows to me how in many ways were are more one than seperate. May the Spirit, Lord, Christ, whatever your heart hears be with both of them for these difficult days and beyond.
Renshen, thank you. Prayers are all that are left. A tradegy.
Bruce was so very lucky to have found Karen and married her when he did, which was only a couple of years ago -- they were only married a short time when all this began, but how much better off he is with someone who loves him by his side through this horrible time instead of having to go it alone as a bachelor. Poor Bruce, poor Karen, but one must always try to remember that God does not give us burdens greater than what we can bear and He will give Karen and Bruce the strength to deal with whatever the future holds. . .
Love and Prayers to both. . .
Newly
My thoughts go out to Karen,
a lot of harm can fall to a family member caregiver, most professionals strongly advise against it as long as coverage isn't an issue, I speak from experience.
For Bruce and Karen's sake I hope it doesn't drag out much longer.
Just saw this update on Karen's facebook page from March 1st. So sad...
"I want to thank all of you for your prayers concerning Bruce and the Thompson family gathering Feb 13th. Bruce did very well that day, lots of pictures taken and stories told. But... It was our last good day. Bruce is losing ground every day. He can't walk any more or dress himself. His brain has such a huge tumor his thinking is all messed up. His emotions are all over the place, mostly angry. I'm losing more and more of my husband every day. I miss him! Please remember me when you pray, I'm devoted to making each day the best it can be for him, but I'm so tired. Thanks for your faithful prayers and love to both of us!"
Newly, I echo your thoughts and prayers and comments. I am also not on Facebook. Karen and I have emailed. I never knew Bruce but I have been sending many 'get well' cards. Still do. It does appear that we are now at the end. God help them both.
Thanks for keeping us posted, ciciagt. I'm not on Facebook so this is my only source of updates on Bruce's condition. I can't even imagine what he and his wife are going through. Horrible! I am devastated just reading the updates. Things appear so grave now and have been drawn out for so long one almost wishes Bruce could just pass and end all the suffering.
Love and prayers, Bruce, on your journey -- God speed. . .

" That is sooo-sad ... Tears & prayers his & Karen's way ..!!
Karen has posted a couple of updates on Bruce on their facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/Bruce-Thompson-Glioblastoma-Fight-725371917561421/timeline?ref=page_internal
my deepest prayers are with you Bruce
It was nearly a year to the day to read the update from Karen...Bruce wrote his "I need to talk" message last Jan 16th....post 32897.
Lots of prayer still going their way.
So sorry to hear this latest news re Bruce's deteriorating condition. Heartbreaking. Bruce, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
This all began so unexpectedly in a supposedly healthy individual. So devastating.
Life is so precious -- we must live it to the fullest every moment because there but for the grace of God go any one of us! None of us know what tomorrow may bring. . .
Newly
May God be with you.
You are in my prayers
That's devastating, I feel so bad for his wife
God's speed Bruce, darn it.
Unfortunate news about Bruce's situation...

Jan, 14, 2016
Today we received devisting news. The MRI taken Monday showed another tumor beyond the one that was to be removed the 19th. It is inoperable. Because of this tumor there is no sense in removing the first one. The doctor feels he has maybe 8 weeks of quality life left. They will do more chemo if he can tolerate it, but if it interferes with his quality of life we will stop it. So there will be no surgery on the 19th. The new tumor is spreading along the ventricals and will cross over into the rest of his brain. God has Bruce in the palm of His hand, we are putting our trust in Him. But to be honest, I'm crying my heart out today, maybe tomorrow I'll be strong again.
Thanks for the info. Praying.
From Bruce and Karen's FB page:

Bruce is having brain surgery on Tuesday Jan 19th. He is also taking part in a clinical trial. They will put a live virus in the cavity where they remove the tumor...IF he gets the real drug or he might be just in the control group. We won't know until after the surgery. If he is in the control group his prognosis is about 8 months to live. The clinical trial is a huge unknown but worth the risk. Please say some extra prayers on the 19th! It will be a 5 or 6 hour surgery.Glioblastoma is such a wicked cancer, very aggressive! This has been such a rough time for us! Oh, he will also lose more of his memory, please pray it is a a minimal loss. Thank you all for your comments and likes on FB it all helps so much!!
