Bruce was predeceased by his father Percy. Bruce lived his whole life in the RM of Rosser, attending Little Mountain, Rosser, Grosse Isle and Warren schools. Bruce worked at Sears for many years, with the majority being spent at the Warehouse on Inkster. Between school and work he established and maintained several strong friendships. Bruce was a doting father and grandfather. He was very active in the lives of his children and was kept very busy for years chauffeuring them to cadets and then later to work. It was an inside joke about Dad's taxi service. Bruce was a huge sports fan and Bomber supporter, where he had season's tickets for 30 years. Bruce was also a supporter of the Prairie Dog Central where he volunteered his spare time. Bruce had a terrific sense of humour and enjoyed both hearing and telling jokes of all kinds. Honorary pallbearers are Bruce Galbraith, Jack Palahitski, Frank Frederickson, Gary Minaker, Rick Patterson, Cody Smith and Ray McNabb.
