Bruce Moore
McGeoch
S.
Burlington,
VT-Bruce
Moore
McGeoch died
Monday,
February 9
after a
short but
hard-fought
battle with
idiopathic
pulmonary
fibrosis.
Bruce was
born in
Cambridge,
New York to
George R.
and Bernice
Moore
McGeoch. He
spent some
of the best
years of his
life at
Cornell
 University
where he
made great
memories,
formed
life-long
friendships,
and married
Cynthia
Stetson in
1971. Cyndy
and Bruce
lived in
Boston and
then
Harvard,
Massachusetts,
where their
daughter
Lauren was
born in
1982. The
family
followed the
computer
industry to
Cupertino,
California
in 1984.
They enjoyed
almost 20
years in
sunny
Silicon
Valley but
eventually
decided to
move back
“home” to
Vermont,
where they
could be
closer to
family.
Bruce
touched many
people
through his
different
interests
and hobbies,
which
included
golf, wine,
computers,
traveling,
UVM hockey,
home
renovation,
the Jaguar
Association
of New
England,
renewable
energy,
single malt
scotch,
hiking,
boating,
cooking, and
much more.
His family
and friends
have always
been
impressed by
his positive
attitude,
unflagging
determination,
keen
intellect,
courage and
generosity.
He was a
humble
person who
spent his
life
thinking
about and
caring for
others.
In addition
to his wife
and
daughter,
Bruce is
survived by
brother
Peter
McGeoch.
Bruce was
much loved
and will be
sorely
missed by
his large
circle of
family and
friends. A
celebration
of Bruce’s
life will
occur at the
Vermont
National
Country Club
in South
Burlington
in the
summer 2015.
Bruce was
very
grateful for
the
scholarship
that allowed
him to
attend
Cornell. He
and Cyndy
have set up
a Cornell
University
scholarship
fund to help
other
students
like
himself. In
lieu of
flowers or
other gifts,
the family
asks that
donations be
made to this
fund. Checks
should be
made payable
to Cornell
University
and sent to
PO Box
25842,
Lehigh
Valley, PA
18003-9692.
The memo
line should
include
“Bruce and
Cynthia
McGeoch
Perpetual
Scholarship
Fund,
#0011654”.
Bruce’s
generosity
also lives
on through
the miracle
of organ
donation.
