Robert Bruce Dempsey
December 7, 1948 – July 30, 2019.
It is with deep sadness that Jeff and Nancy announce the passing of our most loving Dad and Husband early this morning in the Palliative Care Unit of the VG Hospital. We are so grateful that Bruce was able to return home for a three week “vacation” to the home he proudly built for his family on the shore of St. Margaret’s Bay, before his final return to the hospital, where he was so very well taken care of by the wonderful Palliative Care team.
Bruce was born in Val d’Or, Quebec, attending school in Ontario and later studied media communication and design at Humber College and Ryerson University. He worked at ATV in Moncton in his early career, later branching out on his own as photographer and videographer, a chosen field that he absolutely loved. He was constantly looking at innovative ways of improving the quality of his work and perfection in production was always a priority to Bruce.
Bruce was predeceased by mother Pauline Mary and father Robert William and his beloved black lab,
Shyna, who he took for daily walks on the Rails to Trails, both of them enjoying their daily adventures. He is survived by sisters Lynn Power (Kevin), Susan Dempsey McKim (Jim), nieces Ellen (husband Ryan) Tessa & Emily and nephews Ben (wife Sara) and Luke.
At Bruce’s request there will not be a funeral service. Sincere thanks to all friends, family and support workers who have helped us through the past several months, especially the Closing the Gap homecare workers, the VON and the entire staff at VG 7A.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Robert Bruce Dempsey December 07 1948 July 30 2019..
