Bruce, thank you for all the memories - from the first day we met working together at Gordon Capital, we were 2 peas in a pod - both thinking of ways to make money. Your live band performances and parties were so much fun. Our relationship grew beyond work and we enjoyed many a few nights out and good times with trips to Montreal and Buffalo. It was also great to know Olga and your family and friends. I was truly honored to be in your wedding party and the festivities surrounding your wedding and your life with your family.
Rest in peace Bruce -we love you and we'll miss you.

I will miss my baby brother. It was tough having a relationship when he was so focused on work. But I have memories of him when he was little. He loved bugs and snakes etc when he was little. He scared our mother to death finding his snakes he forgot he put in his pockets when she went to wash his pants. I was always in charge of taking care of him and sometimes it was embarassing for me at that age. In Sunday school he found a fly and sat on floor playing with it while I was quietly trying to get him back in his seat. Another is how much he loved fishing. I don't think he cared about what he caught it was the act of doing. It would be pouring rain and he would be sitting out in our old red row boat fishing away. He should be at peace now after all the difficult years with his health. He is in the arms of our family now. Take care my little brother.

Bruce when he was child he like to rescue animals and bring them home and would bring snakes & worms. One day Mom was washing the clothes and went and check the pockets of Bruce's pants and she was frightened to find worms when checking the pockets and finding worms in her hands.

Bruce like to fish & hunt. Specially take the boat or canoe out early in the morning at the Cottage.
Bruce & I fished together on the boat early in the morning. Bruce would surprise me sometimes and take me out for dinner when we lived in Sudbury and take me Flanagans and drink together and listen to the Bands together all night. Bruce took me out on my Graduation in Sudbury when I Graduated and he bought me a corsage as well. He gave me a Necklace and I still have it. Olga. Bruce & I always watched out for each other even in tough times when we were growing up. I also remember in the School Band he give Mr. Farrar a tough time when were in the School Band - you might remember that Olga when were in the School Band Together.

We were in Fergus for the Annual Highland Games. Prime Minister John F Diefenbacker was there in attendance. Bruce was in his kilt and he ran up to John F. Diefenbacker and shook his hand. He was about 6 or 7. I believe if I am not mistaken they took a picture for the Newspaper. I think it might have been in also in the Sudbury star back then We were young and went almost every year. Just wish to share that too.

I will truly miss his Humor and his voice. I loved him so much. Will miss my little Brother!! Olga.

Dear Olga.

I know that it has been many years since we have talked, however I was very sad to see the obituary today for your husband, Robert. I, along with many others, am thinking about you and your family today.

Take care, James Millard
