He is loved and missed by many nieces and nephews.
Bruce was born and raise in Midland working for the Canadian Steamship Line for many of his younger years, then coming ashore to work at RCA (Mitsubishi) until taking a position with Waypoint Centre (MHCP) where he retired at 62, to enjoy his retirement years with his wife Lois and family.
Over the years he enjoyed cottaging, camping, traveling, boating and he especially enjoyed his love of cars, by cruising around or going to many classic car shows or cruise nights in his 1956 Ford Victoria or his 1972 VW Super Beatle Convertible.
