David BRUCE Obituary

It is with immense sadness that we announce that husband, father and grandfather, David Bruce, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on January 24, 2020, at the age of 76. Dave was a former teacher in England and Prince George, an avid outdoorsman, an animal lover (especially dogs), but above all, he was a loving and dedicated family man. His passing has left a hole in our family. He will be forever in the memories of his wife Colette; sons, Steven (Leslie) and Richard (Shandrea); grandsons, Graham and Lincoln; and other family member Jenna. Dave did not want a funeral, but in lieu of flowers would have welcomed donations to the PG Humane Society.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My condolences to Dave's family. As a member of the Westwood Staff, I always found him to be a pleasant and fair-minded person; one who always wanted the best for his students.
I am hoping that his retirement years were everything that he wished them to be.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I worked in his classroom at Westwood for a year and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a great sense of humour he had. When anyone "lost" their work on a computer his famous saying was, "Did you learn anything about saving?". He thought that was a great joke but the receiving party didn't always see his point of view. A great loss.
