Very sadly I received the news of Bruces passing. My sincere sympathy to Peter, Julie and Ian. Being the elder cousin, I recall so much of Bruces early life. Especially when fighting for his life as a youngster in the Children's Hospital. Remembering our last conversation at my mothers funeral. God bless you Bruce.

I was both shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Bruce's sudden passing. I had only met Bruce and Peter in the context of their deep caring for Noel over many years. I very much enjoyed Bruce's wry sense of observation and I greatly appreciated his compassion. A lovely bloke,
