Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • I met Bruce when he first started work at Transport Canada. In fact I was one of the people who decided to hire him. I thoroughly enjoyed his company both during office hours and after when we would retire to the local pub for a few bubblies as well as golf tournaments, parties etc on weekends. He was always a good workmate, and friend, honest and true. He will be sadly missed by any who knew him as I did. My deepest condolences to the family.

  • My condolences to the family on this sad occasion. I will not be able to attend Bruce's funeral due to illness. I will always remember Bruce and he will be in my heart always. He was my special friend over the years even though I did not see him for a number of them. He certainly was a special person, he had a unique sense of humor and laugh, those things will always remain with me. I have very good memories of times spent with Bruce and will never forget the good times we had. Love to Trish and Heather and grandbabies. God Bless all and help you through this difficult time. He will live in your hearts and will live forever. Love, Frannie - Posted by: Frances Harrison (Family friend) on: Sep 13, 2012
