BRUCE MALCOLM WESTWOOD

April 25, 1940 - February 28, 2025 Surrounded by family at home, Bruce passed away peacefully, in Hockley Valley on February 28, 2025. Bruce was born on April 25, 1940, in Montreal, Quebec, to Pearl and George Westwood (predeceased). He is survived by his loving partner, Kristine Wookey; and her son, Simon Wookey. Bruce is also survived by his ex-wife and mother of his two children, Lyn McIntyre Sifton; their son, Ashton Westwood; and daughter, Whitney Westwood Moore and husband, Roger Moore. It was in Toronto that he met his wife, Lyn, whom he married in September 1966. After returning from London, England, Bruce carried on a successful venture capital career, before turning to a career in publishing with the founding of Westwood Creative Artists, where he raised the profile of Canadian writers at home and throughout the world. Bruce met Kristine Wookey in 1982, with whom he shared the rest of his life enriched by entertaining friends at their home in France and the country, travel and a love of books. Bruce was an avid sportsman, RCYC squash player, sailor and passionate skier. The family wishes to thank his caregivers from Good Comfort Homecare, and especially Carol Ann Morawetz, nurse and coordinator with Ontario Health at Home. A celebration of life will be held this coming spring in Hockley Valley, Ontario. If desired, we would be most grateful for donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
