To the Fenwick families our sincere condolences on the passing of Bruce, Bruce was certainly a well respected member of the Lions Club of Bell Block & Districts Lions Club. While I was a District Governor, he was really supportive to me and I can recall a time when Bruce accompanied me on a club visit to the Ruapehu club, where we spent a few hours talking about our lives. I knew then that he treasured his family. Bruce was one of our club statesmen, he was probably one of the best Tail Twister we ever had, as he love to share a story and tell a joke. He will forever be missed by all club members. Regards Gary, Gee and the rest of the Bell Block Lions & partners.
