Dear David, Esther and the entire Maginn family,
We are very saddened to read the news of Bruce’s passing. Bruce was a kind, caring, respectful man – someone whose company we were lucky enough to be in from time to time over the years. He had a twinkle in his eye and a great sense of humour. His passing is a loss to his family and his community of friends.
Mary and Ron Hiceky says
Our sincere condolences. We were deeply saddened to hear of Bruce’s passing and we hope your many happy memories help you at this difficult time.
My family and Bruce go back a long way. In the 1950/60s, we were neighbours on the 6th concession of Vaughan (now Weston Rd). Bruce helped our family in so many ways after my Dad passed. My oldest brother, Brian, and Bruce became life-long friends.
In my later years, I was fortunate to be able to reconnect with Bruce. Ron and I purchased a home in a 55+ community in Penetang when we retired. My brother had told me he thought it was the same community that Bruce and Joan had moved to. One night before we made the actual move, we received a phone call from Joan welcoming us to their community. That is when we learned that not only was our new home in the same community as Bruce and Joan but also that out house was attached to theirs. It was a very good feeling knowing we would have old friends for our new neighbours and in the 7+ years we were neighbours, we couldn’t have asked for better.
Rest In Peace Bruce

Sending condolences.
Bruce & Joan were our neighbours for many years. Joan loved my annual Pampered Chef party, that brought all the neighbours out for an evening of fun! After Bruce moved to town, it was always great to run into him and chat.
Hugs ♥️

Gary and I are sending our thoughts and prayers to you and the family. Uncle Bruce was a very good man who reminded me both in appearance and life style of my grandfather. I can’t think of any higher compliment anyone could express.

Dear David. Esther and Family,
Dear David. Esther and Family. Bruce’s passing is very sad news and I grieve for you all. He was such a lovely man and he and Joan were a caring couple who were always in touch with family and friends. They welcomed me to the cottage and they stopped at my home on their travels. I will miss our phone chats and share hockey talk and news of the Grandchildren. Many will miss him and I know this has to be hard for you. I certainly will think of him as I have often.

Our deepest condolences. Bruce was a wonderful man who enjoyed sitting outside or going for his Daley walks. He especially loved when my children would walk by his house and say hello “Bruce”with a smile on his face he would always wave back. Bruce also made sure he reminded me and my neighbour Marianne what great respectful kids I had. Bruce you will be greatly missed..
