2. The world will never be the same because of the difference one life has made. You knocked at my door six years ago and met my precious Ralph. I knew the moment we met that my family was blessed to have your constant support. I called my husband after you left and told him that I felt as though I was with an Angel. Please be Ralph's guardian angel from heaven. There are many gifts that Autism has brought to our lives but the greatest was knowing you.
   Sleep in peace dear friend. Keeping your beautiful family in our prayers.
   All Our Love, The Colley Family

4. I met Bruce when I went to UCF CARD looking for help with my Son Joshua. Bruce was instrumental in getting Joshua Diagnosised with Asperger's and helping get him the services at the school. He even took time from his busy schedule to make a few home visits. He was a very loving man who touched my heart. He will be deeply missed.

5. He was an awsome man to me. He helped me figure out what to take to school. I will always keep him in my memories. He was a great man to me.

6. Bruce was one of the most awe-inspiring, loving, and super positive people I have ever known. We became instant friends and he rekindled my love for life, surfing and skateboarding! He had the amazing ability to inspire you to truly live life and make the most of every day! We would go surfing before the sun came up and skateboard his hand made long boards on the days the waves weren't there. We surfed hurricane surf and I will always cherish our time together! He made me a better person and I will never forget him! Rest in peace, my brother and keep shining on all of us! My heart goes out to all his family and friends! Love always!!

7. I have a daughter with Asperger's. I met Dr. Bruce when I brought a friend to his Behavior Basics class. Her son was newly diagnosed on the Spectrum. Here I thought I was doing so well with my daughter as he started going over situations we had worked already through...Then I will never forget the light bulb moment he gave me. He said, "Think about everything you do right now just to keep her going... all those circles you run around her trying to catch every cue and stop/handle everything before she gets upset or hurt... Sure she is doing much better now than a few years ago...BUT what if you are not here tomorrow? Then What? How will she function? Is all that work you do going to fade away with you and she could regress back to how she was? or worse? It is time to set larger long term goals and start thinking about how she can handle and cope with things all on her OWN." He was right. I needed to hear that. I just never thought he would never be there tomorrow. I truly believe the light he has shined in this world will inspire others to carry on his life's work. If more people were like him there would be no more school shootings by socially awkward teens on the Spectrum. Those kids would have awesome mentors like Dr Blake. Thank you and my heart goes out to his family and friends.

8. Bruce had the innate ability to make everyone around him feel good. Even in the most tense of situations, everyone encountering Bruce felt good. He was a unique soul and will be sorely missed.
