Bruce is etched into my memory and so is his lovely wife Louise.
The kindest married couple. Its not easy for me to put the words
on paper about how much Bruce meant for me. Even though
we kept in infrequent touch over post and emails since 1994, the
facts of the correspondence fade but your Bruces kindness, caring,
calm, contended and humorous spirit is and always will be with me.
Wonderful man, husband, friend, father. I feel lucky having to know
him. I do have father but he was seldom present. Unknowingly to Bruce,
during my 1992 visit to Canada, he gave me a first and only
glimpse of what a presence of real loving, caring father looks and
feels to be around like. Bless him for that. I will never forget you Bruce.

I'm saddened to learn of Bruce's passing. We were colleagues at the NRC for decades. My sympathies to his family and friends.

With sadness, we have lost a brother, brother-in-law and uncle. We cherish our memories of Bruce and particularly those from the years he spent in London when he was a closer part of our family circle. He made his favourite sandwiches with peanut butter and fresh vine-ripened tomatoes from Don's garden. Our thoughts are with all of you. Love from
Don and Betty McIntosh (London, Ont.)

I had a great deal of respect for Bruce, and enjoyed working with him on the CANOPUS project.

I remember Bruce as a friend and colleague. I was hoping to visit him soon when I am in Toronto. I'm sorry it will not be possible. My sympathy to his children.

Allen, Barb, Karen and David, I saw the notice of your father's death today and wanted to pass on my sincere sympathy. I have good memories of being with all of you many (40) years ago. May your lifetime of memories of your father bring you comfort.
