Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBRUCE ALAN HEMMETT June 11, 1952 - May 10, 2016 Bruce Alan Hemmett, aged 63, of Thompson, MB. It is with heavy hearts we announce that after a short battle with cancer, Bruce passed away peacefully in Thompson General Hospital. Bruce is predeceased by his parents, Edgar and Hazel Hemmett, and brother Donald Hemmett. He leaves to mourn his passing, his daughter Lisa (Dave) Krobel, son Brent (Krista) Hemmett and brother Ken (Connie) Hemmett. He will also be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Matthew, Brianna, Brooklyn and Owen; his nephews, Kelly (Kerri) and Jeff (Cheryl), as well as extended family and friends. Bruce was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. He moved to Thompson, where he retired after 30 years with MTS. "Hammer", as he was known to many people, was a caring man with a great sense of humour. Bruce was a foodie and loved cooking, always finding, trying and sharing new recipes. He was happiest at the cabin at Paint Lake; but also loved being home, so he could watch his sports and of course, The Price is Right! A special thank you to the Thompson General Hospital, CancerCare Manitoba and Health Sciences Centre for their loving care and support. In accordance with his wishes, no formal services will be held.
