Dear Colleen, Ken & family,
Our deepest sympathy and our warmest thoughts are with you. Bruce was one of our favourite patients.  AND, he was Santa Claus at our Annual Christmas Dinners. All of our friends and staff had their photographs taken with "Santa".  We always refer to him as Santa!   Bruce was a very kind and gentle man, it was our pleasure to have him as our family friend & patient.  Thank you Bruce, it will not be the same without you!

Uncle Bruce was the kind of man who never showed it if he was unhappy or down. He will always remain a happy man in our memories of him. Our condolences to Colleen, Kelly and families.
Sincerely,
John and Diane Martin

I  worked with Bruce at Eaton's for some 14 years and knew him several years after that before losing touch. I remember him saying"we don't make much money but we sure have fun." I know he had some bad times but I hope he left this world thinking "I sure had some fun!"

Always cheerful, considerate and always welcoming and glad to see you. Great memories of the times we were fortunate to share with Bruce. He was very special person. You are right Colleen, he will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him.  We'll miss you, but think of you often.  Bye Santa.

I will always remember Bruce as a good friend and gentleman. My condolences to Bruce's family.

The many nieces and nephews (also great nieces and nephews) of Uncle Bruce's extensive family, as mentioned by Aunt Marg, also share some wonderful memories of a very gentle man.

Dear Colleen, Kelly, Chantel. Shelagh and Chris,

Your dad/grandpa was someone who had a lot of class, dignity, a good sense of humour and compassion for others.  He never missed an opportunity to brag about his children and grandchildren and I could tell that he loved you all very much. Please e-mail me if you want to get in touch.  It would be so nice to hear from you all!
Thank you ,Bruce for all of you kindnesses you showed me over the years.  You were a good man and will be missed by your many friends and acquaintances.

Dear Colleen, Kelly, Chantel, Christopher and Sheilagh,
I have only fond regard and good memories of your dad/grandpa. He had a lot of class, a great sense of humour and compassion for others.  He was so proud of all of you, and took every opportunity to say so. Please look me up if you'd like. It would be nice to hear from you! (519-648-3614).

God Bless you Bruce and thank you for all of the kindness you showed me over the years.

Bruce was my brother-in-law, brother of the late Marshall.  He was a man who loved people.  He played Santa for years at Eaton's,etc. and private parties.  He was a kind, thoughtful person.  He came from a large family-Lloyd, Bob, Chuck, Ardene, Frank,Rosemary,Bonnie,Marsh,Paul,Gary and families.  I will miss him.

Colleen and family, we are very sad to hear about Bruce's passing. We know that he had been sick a long time and fought the good fight but his body could not take any more. Us kids have always remained fond of Bruce. He was a kind and gentle spirit. Darrell and I are so happy we had a chance to visit him recently. You are in our thoughts.

We were residents and friends of Bruce at 310 Queen St.S. apartments.  We always enjoyed talking and visiting with Bruce - he was so friendly and had an upbeat approach to life.  We are sure his children will have many happy memories of their dad - he will be remembered by us.
Sincere sympathy, Carl & Therese Schuett

Colleen & Kelly, Thinking of you at this time with love. Your dad was a great man and played the best Santa Claus for years.  He was loved by many.  Mom will miss her little brother.
