Default Bruce

Folks,

My heartfelt condolences to Bruce's family and loved ones on your loss. I just became friends with Bruce in the past few years through our common interests in CMPs and militaria.

He was a larger than life individual with a commanding presence who was never shy at sharing his opinions. I value the limited amount of time that I was able to share with Bruce. My only regret is that I had not met him earlier in our lives.


Please accept my sympathy for your loss, Peter

Sincerest sympathies to Bruce’s family. It’s quite a shocking loss to say the least.
My last interaction with Bruce was but a few weeks ago at the OMVA swap in Oshawa. Always a true gentleman and willing to lend a helping hand to others.

Sorry to hear this. His knowledge was vast. I never met him, but we have had the odd interchange, from time to time, over green things. My respect to and thankyou Bruce.
