To all my cousins and children of Uncle Bruce may you seek solace in the many beautiful memories you have of your Dad in the coming weeks, months and years. My fondest memories at our Summers family gatherings are of a gentle, laid back soul whose family meant the world to him. Rest easy Uncle Bruce, fly high on the other side.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Margaret, Phill, Jeff and all the McLachlan clan and extended family, as you celebrate Bruce's life on 27th December. He has left a huge legacy and a big gap in your lives and will be greatly missed.
Like many Christchurch families we benefitted from Bruce's skills when he built our West Melton home in 1993.
