Very sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. I have fond memories of my time at Taramoa and Bruce’s friendship with our family. Bruce was instrumental in getting me my first job during the school holidays at the freezing works as a young teen, This was a position I was able to continue with for five years and assisted me with my education costs. I will always grateful for that..
My thoughts go out to you all at this sad time.

I spent a night with Bruce in hospital last week. What a lovely man, we talked all night and shared some amazing stories together. He really enjoyed the fruit and chocolates I gave him before I left. Real sad to hear of his passing.

It was my honor to be one of Bruce's carers. We always had good laugh, he told me lots of his stories at the farm. I enjoyed our meal together. Every morning he always looked at their wedding photos on the wall and told me this is my lovely wee wife, I am a lucky man. My condolences to Bruce's family
