I have many fond memories of spending time with Bruce and can still hear his laugh after all of these years. He and Jed use to take Cathy and I to Sauble Beach so we could enjoy being teenagers. He would give us a time to meet them for our ride home. Now the deal was, Cathy and I needed to help him get the car washed to go, so down to the lake we went to help. It was a beautiful classic car. My sisters and I spent many days at the farm where we always felt welcome by the Connell family. I miss those simpler days. I wanted to be there today but weather prevented me from coming. Sending many hugs to all of the Connell family XXXXX

Dear Uncle Bruce, You were such a kind soul. Your laugh could light up a room, and your smile made everyone feel instantly welcome.

If the 2nd of Holland could talk, the tales it would tell about Bruce . He was a great neighbor, everyone's friend, a hard worker and raised four hardworking boys. The world will miss that silly grin , and the conversations we shared over the years. Till we meet again.

I want to express my deepest condolences to Aunt Helen and Bruce's family and extended family. I was honoured to be able to visit with Bruce recently and his death comes as a shock. I always admired that Bruce was able to meet life's struggles with his infectious laugh and a great sense of humour. Bruce's father and my mother were twins so I always felt a special connection with Bruce. I will miss him greatly.

 

From: Larry and Carol Gee

Dear Helen, Bill, Bob, Cathy, Rick and families, Our sincere condolences to each of you with Bruce’s passing. I have fond memories of Bruce dating back to the 1960’s. We were all kids then. It was a time when playing tag and hide and go seek made us laugh. I even learned how to milk a cow. I saw Bruce a few times during the last couple of years. He always had that great smile and we would catch up with each other. May God bless each of you as you remember Bruce during this difficult time. Sincerely, Larry & Carol
