Condolences (20)

1. I’m writing this for Tristen Bruce’s Grandson. Who wanted to say a few words. Grandpa Bruce as I knew him was such an important part of so many people’s lives. He inspired and left an impression on all of us.
   Bruce was much more than a grandfather to me. He was the father I never had, Grandpa was there for me through every part of my life . I wouldn’t be the same person I am without him. He was there for my birthday and never left my side. When ever I needed someone he was there for me. I remember him bringing me to the old house in Mooretown every weekend. We did so many different things and went on adventures and some times we just spent quality time together. All my best childhood memories with him and Grandma June.
   He got me my first bike to teaching me to swim. For a Grandfather, he went beyond what he had to. He drove all the way to Sarnia to my school several times a week just to sit down with me and teach me how to read .
   Grandpa Bruce set an example for us all. His commitment and dedication over coming his own mistakes and helping others to follow his success.
   Everyone who knew him knew how positive (and stubborn) he was. He was a man of integrity and pure will . If something needs Ed done even in his old age he would make sure it happened.. Even when I last visited he was tending the garden or help fixing the house .
   There are so many things I could say about him but we all know how amazing he was. I know he knows but I loved him so very much ! I only hope that one day I could be close to the man he was. I will continue to do everything I can to make him proud.

2. Some people just enter your life and make it better.
   I will remember opening the front door and seeing you with your suit case. Then Holly texted asked who you were . I said and she hug up. Your cell went off and it was Debbie.?????, if you have trouble text this and we will find you . Lol then Holly texted back . He’s okay Mom I ran his license. Holly was a Clinatoligist working for the OPP at the time. I thought how brave for you to show up at my door. We went for coffee in Paris and walked around . Then you drove me home . Rather than have you drive 2 hours , I asked you if you wanted to stay you could sleep on my sofa . Then I added but, there is a lock on my bedroom door and I do know marital arts. Lol! You stayed by my side almost 7 years since we first connected.and I stayed by yours. You were my boarder, best friend and partner in crime.. I was blessed to have you share my life. Remembering you, and others who have passed, is a testament to our love , a testament to our love and the impact you had on our lives. I will cherish those memories and hold on to the love we shared . I will find comfort in knowing that you will forever live on in my heart. Bruce , your presence may be missed but, your spirit continues to guide us and inspire us. I will remember the laughs and beautiful memories we shared . I was honored to be your partner. I hope your memory and those who knew you will remember you by living a life filled with love, kindness, sharing and gratitude. You loved people and they loved you. Something you and I knew that people who really love you don’t clip your wings but, add another feather so you can fly higher. My Best friend and Sweetie you are loved and missed. I was honoured to be your partner. Love you more! Until we meet again ❤️🤗💕
   God will bring you the people you need when you need them and Bruce and I are proof of that. 🙏

12. Bruce was my neighbour for many years. He was a really nice man and helped me whenever I needed. He will be missed.

13. Bruce was one of the best friends I’ve ever had. Bruce and I only knew eachother for nearly 5 years, but we spent a lot of time together in that period and spent many hours chatting about nearly everything. He was not only a friend, but a mentor, someone I deeply respected and who helped me more than I will ever be able to repay him for. I’m intensely grateful to have known and loved my great friend, Bruce. His wisdom, life experience, perspective and ability to see humour everywhere in everything were true blessings in my life. He will be missed, very dearly.

    My sincerest condolences to Carol Ann, his adult daughters, his grandchildren and fellow friends.
    Much love to you all.

14. Bruce was an amazing man who loved life. He had a gentle soul and he always made sure you knew just how important you were to him and you were loved. Bruce came into our lives when he came into Carol’s life. He soon became a very important part of our family. We shared many memories that I will hold close to my heart. RIP Bruce. We will miss you

15. I express my deepest sympathy in this time of sorrow. The Bible promises that your loved one will come to life again on a beautiful paradise earth when death will be no more in John 5:28, 29.

16. Bruce was a Beautiful Soul, who helped so many. Always a pleasure when we chatted. I feel honoured to have known him albeit for a short period of time.
