George Stewart Bruce, born December 21, 1941 passed away on January 24, 2014 at the St. Boniface General Hospital after a month long battle with meningitis.
George Bruce beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle leaves behind Susan Margaret Bruce, wife of 49 years and three children George Bruce Jr. (Bonnie Bruce), Steven Bruce (Penny Bruce), and Kelly Bruce. Six grandchildren: Amber, Stuart, Mandy, Jocelyn, Kaitlyn and Emily.
He was predeceased by his parents William Martin Bruce and Alberta Peace nee Ware, and sister Donna Jessanne Ford.
George loved life and loved people. He enjoyed being part of the community as a greeter at two local stores in Steinbach where he flourished with his booming voice. Saying hello to all who passed and chatting with anyone who was inclined. His free spirit shone through every day with his jovial spirit and thunderous laugh. December was a special month for George as he helped Santa at the local mall as a double, keeping the dreams and wishes of youngsters alive, a task easily done with his huge heart.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at Cornerstone Bible Church, 290 First Street, Steinbach, MB.
In lieu of flowers (although welcome) we welcome donations made to The St. Boniface Hospital Foundation, http://www.saintboniface.ca/english/about-vision.cfm.
