Bruce Winston Bagley, with his immediate family by his side, passed away peacefully on April 20, 2019, at the age of 84 in New York City.

He now will join his first wife, Donna (nee: Bradshaw) and second wife Elizabeth (Nee: Horsman), parents Winston Weir and Nancy (Nee: Farrow), other family members and friends who have passed before him. He leaves behind children Kim (Scott Johnson) and Brian (Craig MacLennan); sister Norma McGuire and nieces and nephews Susan, Beth, Bryan McGuire and Leanne and Adam Horsman; goddaughters Lou Ann and Mary Kae Best; and, of course, his beloved grandchildren Jack and Kate Johnson.

Bruce lived most of his life in Toronto, mainly in Etobicoke, a city he dearly loved, and went to Oakwood Collegiate where he was a valued member of their hockey team. He became a drafting teacher at George Harvey, where he was also their hockey coach, and later taught at York Humber High School. He spent his spare time throughout his career volunteering for the Oakwood Alumni Association and playing for the Precinct’s Men’s Softball team. In his retirement years, he volunteered at the Christ the King Anglican Church and loved spending time and traveling with Elizabeth and his family. In the last decade, he moved to New York City’s Upper West Side to live near his grandchildren and continued his travels to Asia, Europe and the Caribbean.

Bruce was blessed with the gift of authentic and unwavering kindness. At the end he was beyond rich in the only currency that ever really matters: happiness. In the opinion of his family, if life were a game – he won. Loved by many, respected by all.
