Tributes
Bruce Collier loved Brother in Law of Diane and Gary Uncle to Juli-Ann and Graham, Great Uncle to Cade, Paige, Isla, Elin and Tate (+not to forget special friend to Millie) Remembering all the past adventures you had, McDougall St Manurewa, Kumeu, Waiuku and then on to Whitianga. Our special breaks up at Whiti, the nights down at the club and when we needed a baby sitter the bond that Bruce had with Millie. She would get out of our car run around the deck and look in the ranch slider to announce her arrival to Bruce. We'll miss your humour, friendship and the good times spent together.
