It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Bruce Edward Mottershead at his home in Mississauga, on September 13, in his 74th year. He was a loving husband to Betty and pre-deceased by Cheryl (Gilmore 1948-2012). Bruce was a devoted father to Carie, Jason (Carolyn), Megan, Margo; and will be missed by Betty’s children Tish (Joe) and Mark (Avin). He was a cherished and proud Pops to Travis, Owen, Abby, Justin, Josh and Kai. Bruce will be dearly missed by siblings Joyce Munro (Don), Glenn Mottershead (Joanne), Janis Young (Frank), Dennis Gilmore (Pam) and his many nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Audrey (Crozier) and Harry Mottershead; in-laws, Eileen (Vittie) and James Gilmore; and brother-in-law, Wayne Gilmore (Gail).
He graduated with a Masters Degree in Engineering from the University of Waterloo in 1974. Bruce had a distinguished career as a professional with Bell Northern Telecom, Ernst & Young and provided senior consulting to a wide range of clients.
Bruce enjoyed photography, travel and family gatherings. He was our “MacGyver” in the field of electronics, always eager to be helpful with his technical know-how and experience. Bruce was an active member of Eden United Church and Probus Cooksville. He was a true gentleman and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.
The family would like to express their most sincere gratitude to the health care workers who were dedicated to Bruce’s care over the past several years.
Visitation will be at 2 to 4pm and 7 to 9pm on Friday, September 23 at Turner and Porter, Neweduk Chapel, 1981 Dundas Street West, Mississauga, ON L5K 1R2.
