(1937 – 2026) Bruce Edward George Faulkner (B.Sc.Phm.), a distinguished pharmacist, community builder, and dedicated family man, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2026. He was predeceased in 2022 by his beloved wife of 60 years, Lynne Aileen Faulkner (née Griffiths). Together, they built a life defined by service, family, and a deep commitment to their community. A 1960 graduate of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Pharmacy, Bruce's professional life was defined by both his entrepreneurial spirit and his commitment to advancing his profession. For decades, he was a pillar of the Lindsay, Ontario, business community as the proprietor of Quinn's Pharmacy. His influence extended across the province through his active involvement with the Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA) and his service as a Director of Drug Trading. Following the sale of his business to Shoppers Drug Mart, Bruce continued to lead, serving as an elected member of the Peers Committee. In this role, he served as a vital bridge between associate owners and senior management, ensuring his colleagues' interests were represented with the same integrity he brought to his own practice. Bruce's commitment to Lindsay was tireless. A 41-year member of the Rotary Club and a Paul Harris Fellow, he was honoured as the Lindsay Citizen of the Year. His passion for youth athletics led him to found the Lindsay Lightningbolts Swim Club, a legacy recognized by his 2024 induction into the Lindsay Sports Hall of Fame. Bruce's spirit lives on through his children: Vicky Webster (Dave) of Lindsay, and Brian Faulkner (Heather) of Vancouver, BC. He was a proud and devoted grandfather to his four grandsons: Tyler and Josh Webster, and Nick and Owen Faulkner, whose lives he enriched with his wisdom and stories. A pillar of his community, Bruce will be remembered for his sharp professional mind, his dedication to the success of others, and the deep, enduring value he placed on the company of his family and friends.
