RIP Bruce Anderson
Bruce had been sick for the past 11-15 months. He passed peacefully at the Kaiser facility in Walnut Creek, Ca. last night. His expertise will be missed in the Porsche community and he will be sorely missed by his hundreds of friends and acquaintances.
No arrangements or services are known at this point but will undoubtedly surface in the next day or so.

Today is a very sad day for the entire Porsche community. Not only did we lose Bruce, but John Williamson better know as "Otto" of Otto's Venice passed yesterday as well. Otto was quite a character and a valuable resource. I had the pleasure of speaking with Otto many times and he did beautiful headwork on 964's.

Before I bought my current 911, I rang John about a 73E he was selling for a customer. He was really, really candid about the condition of the car and what it needed.
We spoke a number of times and always ended up having a right laugh.
A real character.
RIP John.

RIP Bruce & John williamson AKA otto. I m very sorry to here this sad news
but think of it a better place for him to be right now no worries no fears they are near God and his angels looking down on us mere mortals. Life is short and unexpected we all should enjoy what time we have on this earth and respect all life.
Death is a gate that we all will go through once in our human life their is no escaping it.

Sad day indeed, Bruce was truly a real "national treasure" to Porsche owners everywhere and so incredibly generous with his time for helping people.
His books are simply Must-Have reference manuals for 911 owners and are one of the best self-contained books about 911 performance upgrades.
Godspeed, Bruce,...you will REALLY be missed.
