Default The passing of a brother

I found out earlier today that one of our 928 brothers, Bruce Bade, passed on August 20. Bruce had been battling cancer for several years, though you may not have known it because he always had such a positive attitude. Bruce was a regular participant at 928 Frenzy gatherings for as far back as I can remember, and we will miss him. He was a Frenzy volunteer for several years, serving as the vendor coordinator and award plaque creator. I got to know Bruce very well several years ago when I asked him if we could ride together down to Sharks in the Mountains. All that time together in the car was filled with excellent conversation, and I really got to appreciate what an amazing person he was. God bless you, Bruce.

I didn't think I'd have a reason to log back in to Rennlist but this makes me sad to hear. Bruce was a hell of a guy and I had many conversations over the years making at Frenzy. He's going to be missed, great guy and 928 owner.

Damn, this is hard to hear, especially as I was just a few minutes ago on the Frenzy site updating my registration. It always makes me think of the great guys down there that volunteered to help and make that such a wonderful event, and Bruce was tops among them. He always had time for a good visit with me. Great guy. Very sad. RIP Bruce

That's real sad.
Always had nice conversations with him at every Frenzy I attended.
Great 928 owner and very nice guy.
Will miss him for sure at my next Frenzy.
RIP my friend.
My most sincere condolences to the Bade family.

What a great guy, and his Aventurine Green GTS was gorgeous. Godspeed, Bruce.

I remember talking with Bruce several times at Frenzy. What a nice guy he was. He will be greatly missed.
