Terrible news. Bruce was always been a straight shooter and a wealth of information. He will be sorely missed.

Shocked to hear this… Please pass on my condolences to his family. I haven’t had the privilege to meet him in person, but he was a very much valued member of this forum and community. He was last active on the forum on the day he passed away.

Rest in peace Bruce, you will be sadly missed!

Hanno, the family has agreed that all of Bruce's posts should remain on this forum as a source of future reference for others.

Wow, completely shocked about his sudden passing. Bruce visited me not too long ago. My deepest condolences to his family on the loss of an husband and father and a loss of a friend and fellow restorer.

Very sad news indeed. Bruce was one of the old timers in the hobby, and I used to enjoy buying , selling, trading and exchanging stories with him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Thanks Jon for letting us know. Bruce was a great source of information and got me really interested in installing the 19 set with amp in the C15TA. He sold me the amp at least twenty years ago when Les Fisher, Brian Gough and I went to his place in Napanee and lifted the body off his HUP. I had a nice long conversation with him at the OMVA show in Oshawa this year. He will be missed. Rest in peace Bruce.
