I worked with Bruce at the ALCB from 1969-71. I was fresh out of High School. He was a kind man and really knew how to make me laugh. He played a lot of tricks on me. RIP to someone who was very memorable. Susanna Crawford

Pat, Ken and Sandy,
It is very difficult at this time to find the words that would express our deep love and respect for Bruce. There are far to many stories we could share with you so we won't take up two or three pages here. We are very grateful that we were able to get up to the hospital to see Bruce before his passing. We thank god for that. Look forward to seeing you and the family Pat. We love you very much and hope Bruce is fixing everything up there. It will be a better place to go now that Bruce is there waiting. All our love,
Rita & Ray Hudson

Bruce hired me as I began my career with the ALCB in 1978.
We enjoyed many interesting discussions at the coffee table in the ALCB cafeteria with Eddy, Ray, Susan, Sandy and others.
Rest in Peace my friend.

To the Harris Family,
Bruce was my first boss at the Edmonton Journal paper shack on 109 Street (circa 1961). I thought he had very cool hair. We met again later when I joined the ALCB and he was in Human Resources. A good guy and I am very sorry for your loss.

To the Harris Family,
I used to work with Bruce many years ago at the ALCB. We would often enjoy a pizza together at St. Albert Pizza. I am sorry for your loss.
