Tributes

Fr Bruce was a man of deep Faith and we were priviledged to have him baptize our first granddaughter Surya a few years ago. No request for Pastoral care was ever denied by him and today, there are a multitude who have been blessed by him. Faith is a gift we all receive in Baptism, but like so many of our other gifts, we take it out for use, once in a while. Fr Bruce used his Faith gift every day of his life and in doing so, kept it shiny, polished and well used. He returns to Our God to give a full account of the unbelievable use he put his Faith to. Rest in Peace dearest Fr Bruce. Please. Please continue to pray for every child of God that you Baptized and every one of the multitude who considered themselves part of your flock.
