It is with great sadness that we announce that Bruce passed away suddenly of heart failure due to complications of C.O.P.D. He leaves to grieve, his wife Elsie, son Bradley, daughter Melanie and his siblings Norma, Denis, Margaret, Lloyd and their families. He will be sadly missed by his granddaughters, nieces, nephews, cousins and the many friends that were such a large part of his life.

Bruce was very personable with everyone and loved to tell a joke or two.  Bruce was always up for a party or family gathering, loved to dance and always available for a “ chat “. He was a “Jack of all Trades” and helped many family members, friends and neighbors with his talents.  His mother always said that Bruce could do anything.  Born in Edson, raised in Entwistle and lived nearly 50 years in Edmonton, he was always a proud Albertan.

  1. Elsie, and Bruce’s entire family. Bruce will always have a special place in my memories. We spent a lot of time together as small children, teenagers and young adults. To my parents Gordon and Marge Campbell he was also very special, they loved him like their own. He had a heart of gold and was always a joy to spend time with. We loved Bruce and send our love to all his family.
