Bruce was a customer of ours when we had Jungle Tamers and he became a business mentor whenever I popped in to say hi many years later after he sold Mirror Image.
He was a lovely man and always had great advice.

Kindest regards to the family.

Bruce was my biggest and most generous supporter in my year as President at Milson Rotary. He always appeared to be " gruff" but really he was a soft caring man. Bruce was a Humble Soul and I do wish he could have let me know him more. He encouraged me and always made me smile. A true friend.
Thank you sincerely and with sympathy

To Bruce's family I extend condolences. I knew Bruce from a young age, and then as a Rotarian in the Milson Rotary club in Palmerston North before moving to Hamilton. Bruce was very welcoming when I joined Rotary, and I spent many happy hours in his company. Rest in Peace Bruce
