Also Capt Ron Black, a WW2 veteran, then on to TAA. A excellent pilot, a exceptional man, and a good friend. Bruce and Ron may you find that aircrew bar in the sky and meet many old mates.

Indeed,
A gentleman who was a gentleman in every respect.
What a dull place the world will become as the likes of Bruce take their last long flight Home.
Some like Bruce, but none better.
This is a sad day. Time for a quiet scotch and a long look through the logbooks.

I remember Bruce very well when we were neighbors in East Doncaster in the late 70's and early 80's.
Always a gentleman. Very generous with his time. An avid Fitzroy fan at the time as I recall. A regular at the members pavilion at the junction oval on a Saturday afternoon.
Condolences to Bruce's family. An immeasurable loss.
