Please accept my condolences. I saw Bruce often when visiting my mum, and even in that short time Bruce has left a warm and lasting impression. He will be missed.

I’ve known Bruce over 60 years. I met him through Blind Cricket. I always appreciated his sense of humour & admired his willingness to give his time to help other blind people and organisations. Bruce treasured his family & always put them first. John Capes
Much Loved Brother-in-law and Uncle. Will miss you.
Dear Joy and family. I am so sad to see you have lost your dear Bruce. He and I have spent many hours on a Wednesday at Killara having wonderful chats.
Condolences and much Love to you all.
The news of Bruce’s passing has saddened us deeply. We shared so many years in each other’s company whilst members of the Probus Club of Pakenham East. Bruce was never without a smile and friendly greeting. He loved a conversation and was genuinely interested in you as a person. As the Club’s Newsletter producer, Bruce earned everyone’s admiration for his attention to detail. The Club lost one of its staunchest supporters when, due to ill health, Bruce could no longer continue his membership. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his loving wife Joy and the immediate family. May you now rest in peace Bruce.
A wonderful man that we had the pleasure of knowing. We particularly remember our time together putting the cricket and sports programs together at 3RPH and Bruce’s gong when we mucked things up.. We are thinking of Joy and all those close to Bruce.

My condolences to Joy and family. I knew Bruce for many decades in various capacities as our paths crossed in the blindess community. He was consistently a friendly, helpful and genuine person who you were happy to spend time with. He will be missed by many.
Bruce, I admired and respected you for many reasons.
Your approach to life and other people; Your empathy, kindness, generosity and wisdom but especially your stoicism and your refusal to give in to the many adversities you faced in your life.
You were a fighter to the end and I will miss you dearly.

My name is Peter Dollenkamp I are one of the cleaning staff at Killara Hostel at Koo wee Rup.
Bruce was a true gentleman, always loved to have a good chat in the morning. Bruce has an amazing sense of humour always positive and love a joke. I would say I have a shovel for your breakfast when he had his wheetbix. We would always have a laugh in the morning. Bruce was a pleasure to be part of his life the time I knew him. His Wife Joy is an inspiration to everyone as well she was a fabulous lady as well. My thoughts are with you all the family. Peter the cleaner at Killara Hostel.
