Bruce was born May 14, 1937 in Alix, Alberta. He and his two siblings were raised in Pees, Alberta, a farming community. Being raised on a farm provided Bruce with many various skills which he applied to welding and later as a machinist. Bruce lived a life full of travel and outdoor adventure. Bruce was an avid camper, forming friendships towing his Boler camper across Canada and the USA. Some of his most memorable hobbies include archery, race car driving, and flying his Aero Commander 100 plane. He will be remembered, however, for his personality. Bruce was headstrong, direct, a little bit cheeky, and always EARLY.
