October 14, 1942 – December 23, 2022

Bruce passed away peacefully at SAH with family by his side. Beloved husband of Ruth (nee Rowlinson) for 46 years. Proud father of Brant (Natasha) and Bryan (Heather). Granpa K of Hayden, Jessica, Jared, Ella Ruth, Lola and Sable. Predeceased by his parents Margaret and Douglas Kelso and brother Keith. Lovingly remembered by his sister Gale Duggan as well as his nieces and nephews. Bruce is also predeceased by his in-laws Thelma and Herb Rowlinson and sister-in-law Joanne Daynard. Leaves behind siblings-in-law Ron Rowlinson (Allison), Linda Vandette (Dave Peever) and Patricia Stephens (late Mark).

Bruce was a dedicated family man and proud of their accomplishments. Despite his many health challenges, he continued to fight so he could be with his family. He demonstrated tenacity and courage throughout his journey. We will deeply miss his striking blue eyes, beautiful smile and dry sense of humour.

The family wishes to thank family and friends for their support.  

A celebration of Bruce’s life will be held at a later date.

If desired the family appreciates donations to Make-A-Wish Children’s Foundation at www.makeawish.ca or to a charity of your choice.
