Robert WISEMAN Obituary
Tragically on Thursday, March 2, 2017 at the age of 56. Much loved partner of Janet Burns, loving father to Connor and Joseph and stepfather to Olivia and Braden. He is survived by his wonderful parents Ruth and Harry Wiseman and sisters Lynn (Michael), Ann (Bruce) and Dyann (John). Bruce will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered by so many nieces and nephews whom he adored as well as his dogs Max, Dolce, Joey and Barry. Bruce was a hockey and football guy. He loved to watch and play. He coached so many teams and touched so many young lives one can't even measure. Inspired by his dad, Joseph has followed in his coaching footsteps. He was enjoying a successful career with Alexander Dennis and had only just returned from a business trip to the UK. His colleagues will feel this huge loss. We were blessed to have him in our lives. He was such a warm, loving, generous man who would go to the ends of the earth to help those he loved. He was selfless. Friends may pay respects at the

Our deepest sympathies to the Wiseman family. I knew Bruce when we attended Parkwood Hills and we met years later through baseball and hockey.

To the Wiseman family & Janet, My deepest sympathies to all. We were c-workers at Telesat, but most important he was a great friend. We enjoyed chatting and having a few laughs along the way. We played hockey at lunch time at work. Rest in peace my friend.
