When we met in 1985 at Lifespring in SLC, I knew that my life was about to change. It was a honor to know you for the next many years.
I am so saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. I went through the Journey, Crossroads and Horizons Workshops at Rising Star Communications of Colorado in 1999, and twenty-two years later I still think about Bruce. That is how powerful his impact was on my life and I am forever grateful that I was fortunate enough to have met such an amazing person. He had that special gift of reading people, and helping them face the things in their life that were holding them back. Rest easy Bruce...and Thank You.
Dorothy, I am sorry for the loss of your companion. 1982 I was curled up in bed and my ex husband came in and said you NEED to do this course called Life Spring. I did it in Ca but it is here now.Long story short. I did it and met you and Bruce.The next few years you were my Life. I am still grateful for the chance I had to participate in LifeSpring. I broke open to a whole other world of making a difference. I loved meeting up at "This is the Place " Monument on Saturday mornings and 6 am to look out and envision a world that worked for everyone.
I KNOW my transformation happened in LifeSpring and I loved enrolling all the hundreds of people l put into the course.
Bruce's passion for Life and his power to share that vision was so contagious.
I was given the opening to see how much I love people and it gave me more joy than I can express. Thank you Bruce and Dorothy for bringing Transformation to SLC. You will be remembered for ever.
Thank you for your service our dear brother!! May God bless your family!
I'm the guilty on, so you can blame me. I was so inspired by my experiences with Team Rubicon that I convinced Bruce to join. I know that he pointed a great many of his veteran clients our way. They're all awesome.
Bruce served as our Communications Coordinator for the St George City team. And he was awesome at it. Everyone noticed his efforts. The following was posted by the Ragion 8 Comminications Director about a tribute for Bruce at the TR Operation Warrior Sanctuary in Swan Valley, MT:
"We stopped work at 11AM at Warrior Sanctuary to honor Bruce Solomon. (The time we felt the military honors would start at his memorial.) We had a moment of silence and I said a few words (full disclosure Jonas Reynolds wrote them):
Team Rubicon honors the life and service of our fellow Greyshirt and brother. Rest easy Bruce as you bridge that next gap. You’re legacy and example thrives within the team you helped build.
It was a nice moment, in the woods with the majority of the group sweaty from doing Chainsaw work to honor Bruce. I was thankful to have him as a member of my team."
Be advised that work never stops on a TR Operation. But on Saturday, August 3rd, 2019, everything halted & heads were bowed for my best friend, Bruce Solomon.
I am heartbroken for Dorothy and the children; Bruce was a wonderful guy, a real man's man, a Marine, and a hero. Our prayers for all of you.

I didn't realize how often I thought of Bruce over the years.... even currently. You see I went to elementary school with him. I remember his friends were Gary Kelson, Rick Camac and Harold Peterson. But Bruce stood out....I vividly remember watching him use a pen to draw pictures on his arm and color them in solid.He did this under his desk.... but I could see it from where I sat. I think we were in 5th grade..He would pull his shirt sleeves over so no one could see... We were told then that if we got ink on our skin that we would get blood poisoning... I worried that he would.. I asked him about that and he said that some day he was going to get a "tattoo" and that it would be on there forever I hadn't seen a " taboo" before. But to this very day his memory wafts through the years when I see tattoos.
I have a copy of Dorothy's book that I read years ago about her life. I must say that one of the underlying stories is her love for Bruce and for his love for Dorothy. In my mind I can remember seeing them laugh and just being crazy and in love and happy. Seeing that you stayed married for 51 years reflects that love you two have. Reading about your current family brings such a happy warm feeling of tenderness to me. What a great "send off" he has to see all of you gathered together today to think about the good times and to support each other as a united family.
Even though I am not there, you are fondly remembered
I hope the coming days brings you peace and comfort and even laughter that he must have brought to all of you.
Lovingly

Dearest Dorothy,
It seems like we were just all together having dinner. I’m sorry for the pain
that you and your family are enduring.
I loved reconnecting with you and Bruce and appreciated the time and insight
he gave me regarding PTSD .
If I can be of assistance to you or your family, please call on me.
I will continue to donate to Wounded Warriors and will keep Bruce in my heart.
Thinking of you,
Nancy Johnson-Love
Dear Dorothy and all,
I was stunned to happen upon the obituary of your incomparable and dearly loved husband and father. I'm so so sorry! Bruce was a vibrant person who graced the earth. All my love, Dorothy. I will be there at the service but may have to leave early to play in another memorial service.
