Deepest sympathy to Margaret and family. Worked in Bruce real estate office for a number of years. Nicest, kindest gentleman, it was a beautiful experience working with him. RIP

I was a spectator at Athletic Park when Bruce played for the Junior All Blacks against Tonga. In later years I met Bruce when we were both at Lion Breweries. Was a pleasure to catch up with him again at so many reunions including one at Wairakei. He was always a great conversationalist, a happy smile, an infectious laugh and a strong handshake.
Sincere condolences - Robbie Hunter

Margaret and family,
My sincere condolences on your sad loss. I met Bruce through the Onslow Presidents cricket team and travelled with him to a number of Golden Oldies cricket tournaments. Always enjoyed his company.
Thinking of you all.
