What did Bruce die of ?

Condolence From: Bernie Kerr/Ginger Mackey
Condolence: Sincere condolences to Bruce's loved ones. Bruce's company always added enjoyment to hikes on the Rideau Trail, as I'm sure was the case in all his other endeavours. He will be missed.

Condolence: I will miss Bruce very much as a fellow hiker and as a great teacher. He helped me learn how to do a historical walk -the capital City walk which I did last fall both for the RTA for out of town people who were attending a conference -I really appreciated all the effort, books, pamphlets and hints he gave me and how he tested me to ensure I knew it all.
I also appreciated the poem he wrote when I retired from the government --the best and most beautiful poem
My deep condolences to Audrey and his family and Bruce even though you are no longer with us I will be thinking and talking about you for a long time
Love Marilyn Schwartz

Condolence: This is a very sad shock. Chatting last week about some upcoming hikes and fall singing. Our friendship began in Grade 6. It is too early to end. A true Renaissance Man will be missed greatly.
Love to all.

Condolence: My deep sympathy and prayers to Bruce's family & other dear ones, especially his mother, whom I met a few years ago. I was very fond of Bruce, he always had a smile & a hug for me as he greeted folks & operated the elevator at Trinity. We were also in a few book club gatherings together, and he always made my day brighter, just to be there. I'll miss him a lot!

Condolence: Dear Audrey:

You are in my thoughts. What a terrible shock and tragic loss. I was so very fond of Bruce and so grateful for all he did with and for his fellow Rideau Trail hikers. May you find the strength and courage to get through this afternoon and the days ahead.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Gluckstal

Condolence: Over the years, I was very lucky to sometimes sit beside Bruce at choir practice and at concerts. Together we complained and smiled over Tenor issues and teased the Basses. Besides his obvious gentle humour and caring acts in support of the choir, Bruce had a very unique skill. He could pack a mean car truck - every square inch was used, and he could pack a ton of stuff into a tiny space after a garage sale. To his family and friends, my condolences. The world is no longer so bright.

Condolence: Bruce was a dedicated member of our choir. As is often the case, there are many people we see on a regular basis who we wished we knew better, and Bruce was no exception. When we did have a chance to chat for a few minutes here and there, we discovered our mutual enthusiasm for hiking and the outdoors. I'm glad that we made that connection - my condolences to his family and friends.

Condolence: I first met Bruce in 2005 during the Rideau Trail Association's end-to-end hiking program that year. I was instantly struck by Bruce's fine sense of humour and humble, engaging manner. Over the years it was always fun hiking and talking with Bruce. The poetry that Bruce composed and published in the Rideau Trail Association newsletter was greatly appreciated, and demonstrated another facet of Bruce's wonderful, warm personality. Happy hiking Bruce, wherever you are. We are going to miss you.

Condolence: Bruce will be sorely missed by his friends at Atlantic Voices. As a director, I could always count on his unfailing energy and his devotion to the task at hand. It was always a joy to look out at the tenors and be met by that gentle smile. Just last weekend, Bruce was there among us, singing with his usual spirit in our spring concert, which makes his sudden passing even more of a shock to the choir. We were fortunate to have him as part of the Atlantic Voices family. Our sympathies go out to his loved ones.
