Nothing brought Bruce more pride and joy then watching his family, Jennifer & Dennis, Heather & Matt and David & Marcus. Bruce was given the gift of seeing his family grow in the bright smiles of his three Grandchildren, Lauren, Autumn and Audrey. Bruce made sure his little girls where always treated with sugary treats every time they came to visit, their favourites were mini chocolate bars.
Bruce was a “jack of all trades” and master of none, taking on skills in welding, carpentry and tinkering in his shop in the backyard. Always a role model, Bruce returned to Lambton College in his 50’s and graduated with a diploma in business administration. Bruce took pride in helping those around him and putting other’s needs before his own. A huge Star Trek fanatic, Bruce shared his love of the show with all who visited. Above all, Bruce enjoyed his family, his eyes were never as bright as when he had family to enjoy his time with.
