BRUCE JOHN GUYDA Surrounded by his family, Bruce passed away at 11:58 a.m. on July 2, 2004 at the Health Sciences Centre. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Hilary; daughter Victoria (Zenon), son Paul and his beloved grandson Patrick. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Rose. Bruce was a devoted family man. Hilary was the love of his life and young Patrick was his pride and joy. Bruce had a passion for teaching and helping people. This of course led him to a long and successful career at Earl Grey, Grant Park and Daniel McIntyre. It was from Daniel McIntyre that he retired and then returned to substitute and take on a term position. He proved himself to be a very dedicated, caring teacher who had a tremendous impact on students and staff. His contributions to staff morale were invaluable. Bruce was definitely one the good guys. He was a great friend to all he met. His relationships were strong and lasting, he didnt just pass through. He had a way of making people feel good. It was always fun to be with Bruce and we all will have great memories of our times with him. "Tex" had an incredible and unique sense of humour, a quiet, dry wit that made everybody laugh. His kind and gentle manner and his "live life to the fullest" attitude, made you want to be with him. He was soft spoken, mild mannered, and unassuming and yet he was always right there in the centre of things, getting involved and lending his own quirky touch to the proceedings. He loved to help out and he always left a lasting and uniquely memorable impression. Bruce loved to socialize, the first one there and the last one to leave. He loved life and he lived life. He was and is loved by all those who had the privilege and honour of knowing him. He was "one of a kind" and will be terribly missed by all. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 7, 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Honorary pallbearers, George Johnston, Gordon Menzies, Bruce Silversides, Ken Kelsch, Dan Carefoot and Brian Walters. Special thanks to "Aunty Del", a.k.a. Louise with love from Thelma. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Bruce Guyda to "The Patrick Christopher Banner" Trust Fund.
