Bruce loved his family and videography – particularly special family moments. He was an avid and life-long Argos and Maple Leafs fan. He loved all things Garfield, black cats and gardening. Bruce was a thoughtful, cheerful, and loving man. His laugh and bright smiles were infectious! He was a loyal and caring friend and neighbour, putting the needs of others ahead of his own.

Bruce will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
