Sherri and families, we were so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. Such a nice man who we didn’t get to know long enough! His suffering is over but still not easy to accept I’m sure. I wish I was there to give you a big hug. May your beautiful memories of the years you had together help you in your sadness. Rest in peace Bruce….

Sherry & family
I’m so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. Of course, my family lived behind the Clark farm and dad bought their farm when they were ready to move, so I’ve know the family all my life. I only read of his passing Sunday, Aug. 24. I really would have liked to have been at the memorial yesterday to support you and your family. Thinking of you at this sad time.
Our sincere condolences, Phil and Donna Williams

We were privileged to have known Bruce for 55 years. He was such a considerate, hard working gentleman & so very proud of his wife, & family. Always willing to lend a hand on any construction needs – &/or help with his beloved Grandsons.
Don & I were glad to have time to spend with Bruce a week before he passed. His mind was so alert, & he spoke ernestly with us.
We will certainly miss our visits back & forth between Woodstock & Barrie.
Love, Pam & Don Moore.
