But most important to Bruce was his family. Many wonderful summers were spent at the cottage at Big Whiteshell Lake. He loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Many hours were spent playing games, talking and laughing. Bruce will be remembered for his caring, gentle nature, his honesty, his sense of humour and his incredible loyalty to family and friends.
