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.

RIP Bruce , you will be missed, Your great love of Canadian Military History, coms, CMP's, and it was great when you were able to make your dream come true restoring and running the Fox, all those times in the JR's mess and all the crazy stuff we did while we both served with 709 comm Regt, thinking of Val, Tory and Colin at this time

Bruce and Peter Duggan representing the OMVA at the 2022 Base Borden Canadian Armed Forces Day and Airshow. Bruce on the left, next to Peter's Lynx and Peter, on the right next to Bruce's Fox. I only knew you for a short time but you quickly and generously greeted me with a big smile and offered to help with parts for my HUA project. Bruce....you will be missed by many...RIP.
