To Bruce`s family,
My sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time.
Even though I don`t know you all, I did get to know you through Bruce who often talked fondly of his family over the years that I cleaned for both Bruce and June up until Covid 19 lock down I still kept in touch and was hoping to catch up and sit down with them both but unfortunately that was not to be, will remember Bruce as a true Gentleman, loved his quick wit and such a humble man.
Bruce will be sadly missed.
May he live on in your hearts with precious memories.
