I'm so sorry to hear of Bruce's untimely passing and wish I could be home in London to be with his family at this time. Bruce was a special friend to me and many others and a loving son, brother and father who was so proud of his awesome children. Rest in eternal peace my dear buddy!
Very sad days with you gone, i will always carry in my memories all those ski days and swimming splash. You where a great. Love you, xxx
We were totally shocked to hear of Bruce's passing. Bruce was a very great friend to our family. Our sincere condolences to Mathew and Elysia and the rest of Bruce's family. Love the Ducharme's.
a good friend . truly gonna be missed
A good man gone too soon. You will be missed by many Bruce, thank you for the good memories.
I think its a rare thing to connect on an extremely deep intellectual level with someone . Especially your own father. Im lucky to have had that opportunity. It was a real gift aswell to have someone step in and take responsibility like my dad did for me . I hope one day I will be as great at parenting as him and find a way to connect like he did with me, when I decide to bring another life into this world. I'm gonna miss him so much. Its a very strange reality to comprehend the passing of someone that close . But as I get older I realize its very probably that im going to out live some of my loved ones. That's just how this thing we call life works . Rest in peace dad <3 Love your son.
Dear Elysia ... I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Harriett- I am so sorry, I know Bruce was a wonderful son for you. My prayers are with you and your family.
I was shocked to hear about Bruce's passing. I appreciate his ethic to do the job right the first time. He was always good to have a conversation at the Job Site or over lunch at Swiss Chalet. I will miss him. My thoughts are with the family
Sharon, Mark and family, Thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your brother. Gone too soon.
We were very shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of our friend. He was an amazing and kind friend. He will be missed tremendously. One of our many memories is of all the times the group got together at Barry & Irene's place and the guys would jam a tune or two, his musical talent will be missed. Sorry we are unable to attend the services, sending our thoughts and prayers to his family. Rest in peace our friend.
So sorry for this heartbreaking loss Sharon and Mark and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Peace and love to you all.
