Not sure what to say?

We were so sad to hear about Bruce, He was a good friend when we were in Cairo together. Although we had lost touch over the years, I thought of him often.

Celine, Chantal, David:
We were sad to hear that Bruce had passed away. Even though I only knew him a short time, when David was in school with Jessica, he was always so cheerful and full of news of the family and always remembering all the students and their parents' names and interested in what everyone was doing! He definitely left us a very deep impression of the wonderful man he was and we will always remember him as that!

I worked with Bruce at BP from 2000-2002 on a gas plant project south of Calgary and was greatly saddened to hear the news of his passing. Bruce was open, friendly and patient in his business dealings and always put the needs of people working on his team above all else. Plus, there aren't many engineers around who know as much about wine as Bruce... some of his "best picks" are still our favorites. Thanks, Bruce. We'll raise many a glass in your memory.

I'm so sorry to hear about David's passing. The Collin family is large, and yet we all share in the sorrow. I send my sympathy to you all.
I am the daughter of JoAnn Brown (nee Collin) who is the daughter of Bill Collin.

To Celine, Chantal and David:
I was so sorry to hear of David's passing. My dad was Bill Collin. I haven't seen my cousin David for a long time, but my brother Wayne Collin kept in touch about the family.
Please know that our thoughts are with you at this sad time. We hope that the memories will help you through this time.
JoAnn Brown (nee Collin)

When I started with Amoco in 1997 as a production engineer, new immigrant to Canada and new in the oil and gas industry, Bruce was my mentor and I cannot find the words to express my gratitude for his support, understanding and talent to teach. His good nature, humor and friendship helped me overcome all tough challenges and find my way in a new country and a new profession.
Bruce, I will never forget you and you will always be in my prayers.
My deepest condolences to the family.

I was so shocked when I read the sad news of Bruce's passing. We worked together when I was with the West Asset Team and he was such a nice man to work with, telling us jokes, etc. I have been out of touch since I moved on to another team and didn't realize how sick he was. My deepest condolences to you and family.

To Celine, Chantal and David
Brian and I were so sorry to hear of Bruce's death today. We saw him just the night before we left and didn't imagine that it would be our last visit. He tried so hard to keep going and his love for you was always foremost in his thoughts. We wish that we could be with you all at the service. We arrive home on the 7th and will be coming to see you first if you are available. One thought that keeps coming to me is that Bruce was so well loved and he knew and...

I worked with Bruce at BP several years ago. I will always remember Bruce's patience, kind smile and generous spirit. He always found time to support and encourage his friends and colleagues.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
