We have known Bruce since the 1950s. He was a member of the New Zealand Air Force where he met his later to be wife Patricia (Pat). When they left the Air Force they settled in Christchurch where Bruce commenced work for Air New Zealand. He and Pat commenced a young family, they purchased a home and Bruce began to learn the art of masseuse with a special interest in sports strains and sprains. He became well known for his expertise in this field and was asked to accompany various New Zealand sports teams including the Olympics, on overseas trips. Definitely a great personality with a special talent. As our brother in law, Terry and Patricia Meehan (yes another Pat in the family) were delighted every time we were able to visit with Pat and Bruce in the South Island. Bruce's personality was larger than life which made him a popular figure in any situation. He will be missed but leaves a lovely legacy with his wonderful family.
