Bruce was first and foremost a family man. The children were his greatest treasures, and he always placed their needs at top priority, whether it be attending appointments, learning new skills, reading to them or simply spending quality time with them… Daddy Bruce was a constant in their lives.

Bruce was forever the caring and cherished husband throughout his and Dorothy’s 34 years of marriage. Their relationship was one of teamwork, friendship and genuine love and respect for each other. Everything was done together, from their commitment to children and family, to cooking and baking together, to enjoying a brisk hike in nature. They did so with genuine enthusiasm and purpose. They were indeed soulmates.

Bruce too was a man of many talents, an avid reader, nature lover, wildlife enthusiast, skilled angler and just this past summer a patient gardener, who had already had his garden all planned out for next year’s growing season.

He was a loyal son of Red Bay and indeed all of Labrador in general he used to say “Our greatest and most important  resource is our peoples and their culture and heritage.” He had great respect for all.
He was a loyal employee who loved his job and work family at C&T Enterprises. He always spoke highly of Mr. Gaius Trimm, the office staff and those working in the field. He had tremendous respect for everyone.

To his family, loyal friends and acquaintances please remember this quote “ To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die.”Thomas Campbell.
