Too soon too soon for all the life and drive Bruce had in him. Bruce and Kate the Milmine family (Hamish, John, David, and Daniel) are always appreciative of the all the peppers we could pick to help us in high-school and Uni holidays. You were a fair employer, and popped into see how we were getting on. I was inspired to hear of all you packed into your life, your helping hand project man attitude, your care for people, both family and friend, and the values you lived by, a legacy you leave. My thoughts and prayers are with you Kate and family.
