I am so sad to hear of Bruce's passing. I knew him and his family very well in the 1980's and 1990's. We worked together at CBL (Datacom) and then formed a business: Waikato Computer Services. And then another: Remarkable Software. We worked long hours, wrote great software, but didn't make much $$$. Shame! Despite our shared Scottish heritage, I didn't share his love of Scottish country dancing. For a time I lived in his Hamilton house, after he moved to Auckland. More recently I would catch up with him for a long chat, each year at Fieldays. It has been lovely getting to know Denise on their visits to us, and I hope we will see Denise again soon. My deepest sympathies to Bruce's girls, who really were just little girls when I knew them all those years ago.

Denise, you gave Bruce a wonderful family life, which he treasured beyond all. We were privileged to know Bruce for 20 years and never met a more alive, open, positive person. He encouraged us to join him in many activities but we didn’t have the broad skills of our dear friend. We will miss his visits so very much. So sad for his family as he loved them all dearly.

Such a lovely man always had a smile and kind word. Will be missed at pub quiz. Thinking of you Denise, take care

Denise my sympathy goes out to you. Vicki and Liz your dad was proud of both of you. I knew Bruce for a number of years. He did lived life to the full!!! Please look after yourselves

Sending Sympathy to Denise and all the family. We will miss Bruce at all dancing functions as he was someone we always looked forward to seeing.

To Bruce's Family. I've great memories of Bruce our connection through Scottish Country Dancing over the years.

My thoughts are with you all at this time. I have fond memories of Bruce from Scottish Country Dancing Summer Schools past.

Thinking of you all at this sad time
