Bruce, better known as “Juice”, was born in Taber on February 26, 1954. He was a dedicated husband, loving father and proud papa. He was a talented athlete and skilled carpenter. Bruce loved fishing, camping, playing ball and most of all, pranking anyone he got near. He had a quick wit, a beautifully twisted sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye when he knew he ‘got you’.
“We love you and will cherish our memories of you. Until we meet again, rest in peace.”
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Bruce’s name may be made directly to the charity of one’s personal choice.
