BRUCE JARING TIMMERMAN
March 16, 1936 - May 4, 2019
Predeceased by his parents, Jaring and Bessie Timmerman, and his beloved daughter Marcia Lynn, Bruce is survived by his loving wife Sharon, daughter Kari Bullock (Ron), grandchildren, Chad (Chelsea), Blair and Ashley, great-grandchildren, Cory and Paisley; son Derek Timmerman (Meghan), grandson Finley; daughter Erica Timmerman; brother Don Timmerman; sister Donna Klassen, and their families.
A chartered accountant, in Winnipeg Bruce articled with McDonald Curry; in Montreal he joined Schonbek Lighting; in Toronto he enjoyed a long, distinguished career as chief financial officer with Harris Steel.
Bruce was a dignified gentleman, always supportive of his family, encouraging his children and grandchildren with his lifelong example of honesty, integrity and determination. He had a keen mind and enjoyed sharing his insights, wisdom and opinions with others, including journalists. Committed to leaving the world a better place, he generously supported various organizations and charities.
Only four days before Bruce's passing, they visited friends at the Central Oak Grove Baptist Church in Hilton Head Island, SC. An important wish on his bucket list.
The family wishes to thank the doctors, caregivers, and palliative care team that rushed to Bruce's care in his final days.
We will treasure Bruce's memory forever, along with the gift of love he gave to each of us.
A funeral service will be held at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Rd. West, Oakville, ON, Wednesday May 8, 2019 at 1:00 p.m.

Sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He was a very bright and competitive student in my graduation year for a CA. A great guy, sorry I didn't keep in touch with him, but his moving east caused it to be a reality. My regards to his family.

I knew Bruce when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Bruce was a great inspiration to me during those years. He visited us in BC several years ago and we reminisced about our younger days. Bruce was particularly keen on remembering our trip to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the road races that were held there in 1958. We are very sorry to hear of his passing.
