I met you once when I was visiting New Zealand with your niece Rachael and your sister Kate. I was very impressed by your humanity, knowledge and interest in history and by your determination to learn French, your ancestors' mother tongue. I have not known you long. I will never forget that day we met. I will never forget all those great things your nieces say about you. Vassili

‘Those we love never go away They walk beside us everyday’ Uncle Bruce, Thankyou so much for looking after us when we were little and all the support you gave Mum ( Carol your sister) You were an inspiration and always there for our family. Enjoy your journey back into the spiritual realms , connecting with our wider family say hello to Mum Haere ki te ao Marama Arohanui Wiki

Uncle Bruce was the first male role that I recall having. My mum (his sister) was a single mum and occasional he would lend a hand. As a young adult I would visit him often and he spent hours with me delving into astrology and explaining meaning of the stars and the planets and how that affects me as a person. It was down this path that he guided me in so many ways throughout my life, he helped formed who I am today, what profession I did, what my spiritual beliefs are and the power of the wider universe. I have been so blessed to have connected with Uncle Bruce, he will always hold a deep and special place in my heart, and even though he is not here in person anymore, I know he is within.

In loving memory of my dear friend Bruce. A special friend over the decades. You will be missed by many and especially by the Antara community. My thoughts are with his family Ruve Parker

In loving memory. Rest in peace Bruce

You have always been and will remain a great presence and role model in my life. We have shared some great times together from when I was young and throughout my adult life.
