«Bruce» – It is with great sadness that we, the
family of Milford Bruce Crowe of Truro, announce his peaceful passing

family by going camping on weekends, snowmobiling, visiting relatives,
and playing his fiddle. Once Bruce retired, he joined a musical group
called the Musical Vets where they played at the Truro Legion. He also
played with other groups at the Senior Care Homes, dances at the
