Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDONALD BRUCE MCKINNON November 7, 1928 - February 4, 2017 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our fantastic father, grandest grampa, great-grampa, geegee, best brother-in-law, unbelievable uncle and flawless friend. Bruce passed away peacefully, a month to the day after a fall, which broke his hip. Bruce was predeceased by his wonderful wife Olga, February 10, 2013. He is survived by his four devoted daughters and their families, Pamela and Braden (Szuuts), Ryan and Jamie, Logan (11), Emily (9), Benjamin and Nicole, Olivia (4), Madeline (2), Cynthia and Ron (Seid), Christopher, Callen (13), LeAnn and Chris (Saludares) Vivian (3), Allie Lou (1), Melinda and John (L'Hirondelle) Jared and Elleni, Kashius (2), Slader (3 months), Jayme, Alison and Arden (Buskell), Lindsay and Jon (Bubnick), Noa (3), Miller (1), Kyle. Also grieving his loss are his sister-in-law Lily McWhinney; 11 nieces and nephews and their families and numerous friends who have remained close through dad's 42 year association with CGE/Camco. We often heard stories of dad's years growing up in St. James. His memories and friendships that lasted him his lifetime from Assiniboine through Gordon Bell Schools. You were all very special to him. On a personal note, heartfelt thanks are sent to Leah Dupuis (Bruce's niece) for her continued concern and care. Pamela, Cynthia, Melinda and Alison can find comfort knowing their wonderful dad is together again with the love of his life, Olly. A graveside service will be held later when we will lay our cherished parents to rest. " We Love You More." Glen Eden Funeral Home & Cemetery 204-338-7111

We are very sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He was well respected in the business community and a great mentor for many of the sales reps. We had many good times together; we shall toast his well-lived life with a 'Caesar'! He was a true gentleman. Our sympathy to all your families.
