Bruce is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Ilene, daughter Barb (Mike), son Bob (Jenny), grandchildren Stephen and Erin, and sister Dorothy Luckow.
Bruce was born in Vancouver and was a true “east ender”, living in the east end of Vancouver most of his life. After graduation, Bruce joined the army and trained in Saskatchewan. After the war ended, Bruce followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Vancouver Fire Department where he worked for 37 years retiring in 1985.
Bruce and Ilene were married in 1951 living in the Renfrew Heights area and enjoyed many happy years vacationing at Shuswap Lake and Birch Bay with family and friends. They moved to South Surrey in 1986.
The family wish to extend our thanks to the staff at the Residence at Morgan Heights for their loving care in Bruce’s final years.
Celebration of Life to be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre on Monday, April 25, 2016 at 11:00 am.
