Even in death, Bruce Reid brings new life to old memories. Everywhere he went, there was a story to be told, a friend to be made and a goodbye that always felt to soon.
I remember carrying desks in Bev Facey from the class rooms into the gym; the whole football team was there doing it and hating every moment of it; there was Bruce, right beside us, helping out and having a blast, raising everyone's spirits. Many more stories to tell, but none would describe the character this man possessed.
To the Reid family, i hope you are all doing well. Much love.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. As hard as it will be, just remember to think about all the good times and the lasting memories that he left behind rather than dwell on his actual passing.
Stay strong, and again I offer my deepest condolences to all of you.

I just heard about the devastating news about Bruce and wish to send my condolences to your family. I went to school with Bruce at McNally .It was a nervewracking first day of classes and he welcomed me and made me feel comfortable. He was a great guy and always made me happy. May you remeber these great memories of your beloved son.

Brad, Michele and Ryan,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Bruce left your family much too early. It was a beautiful service today. I hope you take some comfort in the words that were spoken today and in the knowledge of how many lives your son touched. Thank you for allowing Jeff to speak; it meant a great deal to him. We appreciate the kindness you have always shown him and if there is anything we can do for you, please let us know.

Our heart felt sympathies in the loss of your loving Son and Brother.
Gone from us but leaving many memories death can never take away.
Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true.

Dear Parents, Brother, Grandparents & all the Family,
Beyond Life's Gateway
There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone,
and there is a light we cannot see; Our Father claims His own,
Beyond the gate, Bruce finds happiness and rest;
And there is comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best.
May God, who calls our dear ones home and grants them peace and rest,
give you strength and faith to say that He indeed knows best.
Heartfelt Condolences to Parents, Brother, Grandparents & all the Family.
