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.

Bruce Read
 

What an honour to have been one of a 'flock' of Eagles of whom Bruce Read was a born leader, yet a modest gentleman.

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.

For the sake of what and those you leave behind. Godspeed and tailwinds.

Selah.

Thank you Captain Bruce Read. May you RIP.
