It was very sad to learn of cousin Bruce's passing and to hear of his great struggles during the last few years. My deepest sympathies to Laura and to the family.
I am so sorry for your loss Deanna. I am sending heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Karin
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Bruce's passing. I went to school with Bruce through Diamond Jubilee, Princess Margaret and Stamford. A great guy who was always fun and smiling. For some reason, I always remember Bruce playing Tom Sawyer in a class play that we had to put on in Grade 7 or 8. He was able to mimic a southern drawl to perfection and I can hear him saying "My poor toe is mortified" as if Tom Sawyer himself was saying ti yesterday. Laura, Adrienne and I are so sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
Laura, Deanna and Jarrod, Mac and I am so saddened by Bruce's untimely death. I have wonderful memories of dinner parties and especially trips to St. Martin where Bruce's sense of humour and joy for life was on full display. I will always remember Bruce's kindness and calm demeaned, but more than that, his pride and love for his children and his bride ! We will miss Bruce but be thankful we knew him. John, Mac and Patrick Barry
I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I have many memories of Bruce since we grew up together in Niagara Falls. His photo shows his typical genuine smile that has not changed over the years. My heartfelt condolences to his family- many of them who tolerated our shenanigans so long ago.
Deanna. My condolences for the loss of your father. May your wonderful memories with him give you comfort and peace. Jai
