Condolences

Condolence From: Bill Doherty
Condolence: My deepest sympathy to Sharon, the kids and Bruce's biggest pride and Joy the Grandkids. regrettably, i just found out yesterday of his passing. I have had the privilege of knowing Bruce for over 25 years. Working on a golf committee together, I came to appreciate Bruce's zest for having fun and his love of "a beer". Bruce has always been our marketing supplier and always kept me in the loop with the "NEW THING". I would enjoy getting a call or email from Bruce, simply stating "let's get together for lunch", which we did many times. I recently went through cancer treatment and Bruce reached out to me many times with positive encouragement and friendship. We have golfed the last few years in the Alzheimer's Golf fund raising tournament and they expressed to me today, they are so sad and really appreciative of his generosity in the past. I will miss you bud.

Condolence: My sincere and deepest condolences to Bruce's Family. I met Bruce several years ago in the promo industry and soon came to realize he was a true gentleman and would go out of his way to help everyone. His infectious smile, witty humour will be greatly missed. He always went out of his way to say hello and share stories at every industry event. I remember a few years ago doing a small PK at his office ( home ) and after it we proceeded down to his bar as he said it was time to relax and chat - a cold beer before noon was not the norm but Bruce in his own way could make it special by sharing great stories about the industry and the good freinds we make along the way. He had a way of putting people at ease no matter the situation. He will be truly missed. Cheers my friend and Rest in Peace.

Condolence: The best part of Bruce was that impish grin and his incredible sense of humour. No matter the situation he could make you see the bright side. It has been my privilege to be a friend and industry mate with Bruce for over a quarter century. His wisdom and get it done attitude certainly have contributed to my business success. Bruce hooked me up with YSM during his Los Siverado's days and they today remain my charity of choice, I have had the pleasure of many rounds of golf and more than a few pints during the years with him. Bruce the world is a better place for the time you spent in it and I know wherever you go next they will welcome you with open arms and a smile Be at peace my old friend and hope to one day catch you at the turn.

Condolence: Bruce became a good friend. His humour brightened every day, starting with his am email titled Morning Smile. His compassion for others set an admirable example to follow. Among other things, Bruce was a director of the Lakeshore Corridor Community Team. One of his accomplishments was to establish the "Jim Tovey Kids to Camp" program. In year 1, LCCT sent 75 local kids to summer camp in collaboration with the Compass. Bruce's passing is a great loss to the community of people he created.

Condolence: Some twenty years ago, Bruce and I were introduced by our great mutual friend, Rob Harrison. He quickly became my trusted supplier of promotional items...a relationship that over the years spanned three companies that I either ran or owned. When you had Bruce on your side, you could be sure that like his beloved Springer Spaniels, he would leave no stone unturned to find you the best solution and provide you an unsurpassed level of service. Better still, Bruce became my friend. We shared a deep appreciation of Jazz and Blues. We swapped CD's and, with our spouses, attended many concerts together. Whenever I hear Buddy Guy or Dave Brubeck, I am reminded that I first saw them was in the company of fellow aficionado Bruce. Fate dealt Bruce more than his share of bad hands. But his indomitable spirit would always shine through. He would find the silver lining in the cloud, crack a joke, and move on. I am blessed with many friends but there was only one Bruce Graham.
