Thank you for posting the sad news of Bruce Plecan's passing and the
link to the thread of condolences and reminisces.
I knew of him. The thread helped me learn a bit more about him.
It helps to think that he may have had a sense of how his tireless
contributions reached out to so many motorsports enthusiasists.
He has left quite a legacy. Part of a post by slowolej sums it up well:
Perhaps the most lasting tribute to Bruce Plecan is to try to adopt a bit
of his approach to life and his way of helping the people around him.

I've heard plenty of bitching in my life, but I rarely heard Bruce wasting
time complaining about his situation. Kind of amazing considering he had
to do a helluva lot more than most of us just to stay alive. I think he
made some medical journals by living as long as he did. I know he made
some articles just by surviving the transplant surgery. Yet he never
asked for sympathy or wanted to be a "special case" because of his
health. I've found over the years that it's much easier for me to have a
good day if I occasionally stop and remind myself there's people like
Bruce who have to go through a lot more to do a lot less. Bruce is one
of the ones who managed to do more despite the hand life gave him.
