As reported December 14 in Photoshop News:

Early last month we reported from Photo Plus, New York that Bruce was too ill to attend the annual Pixel Mafia dinner. At that time Bruce was about to start a course of chemotherapy that offered an optimistic prognosis. Unfortunately, the treatment has not been successful and the cancer has since progressed. Bruce is now severely ill and it is the opinion of Bruce, his wife Angela and the doctors, that he now probably has but a very short time left. He is being cared for at home by Angela and support nursing staff.

Many of Bruce’s friends, students, colleagues, and fans are posting tributes to Bruce on the Photoshop News site. These will be collected and forwarded to Bruce and his family.

Bruce was inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame in 2005, and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals recognized Bruce with a lifetime achievement award on December 13, 2006.
