Condolences to Rosemary and the O’Grady family. Long ago fond memories of Price Ave kids playing hide n seek, kick the can, ball hockey on the street, then home at dark. Bruce was fun loving, full of energy, kind and a good pal. Regards to Rosemary from Tom Brooks, Cathy’s brother and another redhead, just like the O’Gradys.

So many memories Ogar. Numerous trips to the rink in Hugh’s Big Chev or Geo’s Olds Super 88 to bring life to the ice together from Squirt thru Bantam. The street hockey games on Barron, ball hockey at JC Bald, football, baseball, pond hockey plus the miscellaneous shenanigans at Chippewa Park, summertime swims at the aqueduct, last minute road trips to camp in the north country.

I grew up playing hockey with Bruce on teams representing Welland from 8 yrs of age to about 15, when his speed and skill took him to the OHL. He was an excellent player and teammate. I would like to be contacted when a date is confirmed for a memorial service.

Bruce always had a big laugh to match his big smile. My first time meeting him was when I was 14 at My Uncle Dan & Aunt Sharon's wedding! He made a big welcoming impression!

I'll always remember him with his big smile . He loved people and helping out when ever he could. He coached kids with WMHA that no one else wanted to deal with. My family had the pleasure of buying a couple cars from him and feeling that we always overpaid but didn't care because he made it fun. He loved the sales while Briggsy loved to be out on manoeuvres. Classic PMP. Very proud of his work in the backyard, the pond, fountain and the flowers. RIP Red, we're going to miss you.

Dear Rosemary, Kyle, Sean and family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, father and family member. Bruce was an awesome hockey coach to my son Robbie(Primerano) for several years. We were also part of the St. Kevin’s Community fellowship of families and schools together for years. My heart breaks for all of you and hope that the memories of Bruce will soon comfort you with happier times than the grief and loss you all now feel.

The early eighties would not have been the fun they where without Bruce. I can still hear him ask a customer at point of introduction "Cash or Credit" with a smile as an ice breaker. A good salesman a pleasure to work with as was his brother Ralph. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Peter and Lynn Hubbard

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you at this terrible time. Bruce was a great guy and with the warmest smile. My memories are from the early days of a young couple very much in love and a guy who loved playing hockey almost as much as he loved Rosemary. We are so sorry you have to bear this loss.

Sad news. Price Ave schoolmates, I lost track of Bruce during his hockey-star years. Whenever I saw him, he always recognized my call, "Brooose", and shared a chuckle. RIP, Buddy.

Rosemary, Kyle and Sean, we are so sorry to hear this. We will never forget the good times with Bruce coaching our son in hockey. He was lucky to have Bruce, and we will fondly remember the tournaments, especially Lake Placid. It almost makes up for how afraid of him I was when he was a lifeguard at Cross Street Pool. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our hearts go out to you.

To all the family I would like to extend my deepest condolences on your loss. Bruce not only was a very good hockey player but a good person. Growing up on Price Ave and thinking back on the memories of all the ball hockey games, baseball at J C Bald school and fun things we did will last a lifetime. So sorry for your loss.

Bruce was a force of nature and I can hear his great laugh and see that wonderful grin that made me feel happy whenever I saw or spoke to him. The love he held for his family was always evident and he said, just like Sharon does, that their parents ‘fell from Heaven”.
Sharon, Rosemary and Ralph, words cannot adequately describe how profoundly sorry I am knowing that Bruce is gone. He was a good man and he will be missed. It was a genuine honour to know him.

So sad to here this news. I played a lot of hockey with Bruce in Welland in the 60’s and 70’s. He was one of the best and toughest players I had the privilege to play with and against. RIP my old friend and teammate.
