For what it's worth, the Kevin Riley character actually returned last November (now a Federation ambassador) in Greg Cox's TOS novel Foul Deeds Will Rise (set between the events of Star Trek V and Star Trek VI, and a sequel of sorts to "The Conscience of the King"). So Bruce's influence definitely lives on.
And I recently wrote a Riley scene into an upcoming book. We'll see if it survives the usual edits and revisions.
