On Friday 6 January 2023, passed away peacefully in his sleep at Riverstone Care Centre, Palmerston North. Dearly loved husband of Adrienne for 65 years.

Cherished grandad of Kirsty, Sarah, Simon, Alec, Sam, Rachel and Jarrod, and great-grandad of Nathan and Hamish. Bruce was born 1934 in Wellington, grew up in Auckland and spent most of his adult life in the Manawat area as a school teacher and principal, musician and farmer.

Bruce has given so much to so many with his talents, which he shared generously with the Salvation Army and the Community. I have fond memories of the Kirk family - their inspiration and dedication. Unfortunately, it was not possible to attend the celebration of his life. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God's Blessings on you all.

For all of you , Heather I am very sorry to read this. I remember well the Youth group event on your farm, of getting back to the bonfire at night without being caught. Such great fun and now I realise such a huge responsibility and generosity to let us all loose! Sally Pascoe
