Dear Sharon & family.
Sorry to here of Bruce's passing, Lynn did say he had recently retired from driving and was doing DYI activities at home.
I only new Bruce, Really, because of rugby and Temuka Transport & working in the transport industry.
Not knowing his family life that well, I will remember him as one of the Best Operators with a Truck & Trailer in the South Island, He was one of a thousand, that, if you said, please place the trailer into this space, he could do it first time, no questions asked, I think he was bit of a legend in the driving arena, winning many top awards at local and inter island gatherings.
I do know for a fact he was driving one of the most modern units on New Zealand's roads for stock transfer before he retired.
Those are my fond memories of Bruce and his exceptional service record for Rowdy & Margaret, He really did live for the freedom in life that driving gives one, I know, because I have gone Back to driving Tippers myself, once out there you are your own Boss.
I am now 67 myself and love the change I have Made.
Love to you all and heads up, life goes on.
Best for the Future
Paul Jan & Natasha
