I have had the good fortune to know Bruce for close to 30 years. I met him when he and Don first starting dating. I am so sorry to Don and Bruce's Sister and her family for his loss. He was a great and generous man who was taken from us way too soon. He will be greatly missed

I knew Bruce when he was very young, up at is grand parents cottage. So cute and a nice boy, who turned into a great man. Will be missed by so many people.

I am so very sad to hear of Bruces passing. It would be hard to find a more authentic, sensitive, warm and caring individual. He will be greatly missed ... both professionally and personally. My sincere condolences to his partner and family.

I had the very good fortune of working with Bruce at the Canadian Embassy in Kyiv. Bruce was a fantastic colleague, always available to offer valuable advice both professionally and personally. The added bonus of working with Bruce was meeting Don and enjoying their company as a couple. Without the friendship of Bruce and Don, our posting would have been far less enjoyable. Our heartfelt condolences to Don. The world has lost one of the best.

Bruce was my first boss at CIDA and he set the bar high for the type of committed, smart and passionate development workers I would encounter from there on in. He was a constant mentor for me, while always humble, and it was my honour to have learned the early ropes (on that tricky Ukraine file) from Bruce. Can't believe he's no longer with us to chuckle sardonically at it all. A massive loss for everyone. Warm wishes to Don and the rest of those missing Bruce.

I am so saddened to hear this news....I met Bruce a couple of years ago, in Mongolia, while I was on assignment with CESO. He was the most down to earth, approachable, non pretentious diplomat one could ever meet. On my last visit to Mongolia this past January, Bruce, Don and I had a very jovial dinner date at the Soup Bar in Ulaanbaatar where we chatted about many past and future travels....My last note from him was in April. I am so sorry for your loss, Don. Bruce was one of a kind and I know he will be sadly missed by many; gone way too soon.....

While I did not know Bruce, I was a student at Heritage Park and remember Principal Brian Steen well as someone very approachable, gentle and kind. So my condolences to you Mr. Brian Steen and your family for your loss. If Brian was anything like you, then I believe he would have been someone the family would be proud of. May he be resting in peace.

Having worked with Bruce's father, Brian, a TDSB principal at Churchill Hts. and at Heritage Park PS. I first met Bruce as a student with a ready smile and engaging personality! Over those years Brian spoke often of his pride in Bruce and his sister Jennifer and their accomplishments and personal growth. My condolences to Jennifer, Bruce's family and friends.

I met Bruce almost 30 years ago and Marilyn met him soon after. He quickly became a close friend and amazing colleague. His early passing has shocked and deeply saddened both Marilyn and me. Our warmest condolences to Don and Bruce's family. Marv Wodinsky

Bruce was such a nice caring person. I remember him at Scarborough Music Camp. He was always helpful, sharing his knowledge and caring for others which is exactly why he did great things working for Canada. My prayers and thoughts are with him, his partner, his family (Jennifer) and friends.

Don, Jennifer: I am deeply sorry for your terrible loss of partner and brother. Bruce was a truly special individual to whom I am grateful for so many wonderful memories and for all that he taught me about life. I will miss him very much, and I can only imagine the void that his passing is leaving in your lives. My thoughts are with you.
Much love, Catherine Khordoc

had the great pleasure of teaching Bruce at Woburn many years ago. He was a charming, bright and lovely young man who became an extraordinary adult. I loved following his travel adventures, and send my deepest sympathy to his partner and everyone else who loved him. What a terrible loss of a wonderful spirit, who left us far too young.
