Debbie Lewis:

Terry - I am so very sorry to hear of Bruce's passing, I just found out tonight. I worked with Bruce at OCS/Cast where he was a driver, and you worked with my hubby Danny at CN Conport. My deepest condolences to you and your family at this most difficult time.

Alycia Priebe (Jackson):

Sending my condolences to Terry and Aaron.
Bruce will always be remembered as the fun dad to all of us "kids". The one who let us have a good time and then learn the consequences the hard way. He had a respectful way of parenting and being our friend, always leading with his hilarious sense of humor.
Next burn out is for you, Mr Bruce.

Terry & Arron
Bruce was one of a kind ! He loved his job at Zwart’s always came in with a smile tell a joke or two some dirty some clean. He had a passion for driving trucks & was damn good at it & he would look after that vehicle like it was his own . I was very proud to have Bruce on our team going up & down the road representing our company with pride. He will be deeply missed but will never be forgotten. Our sincere condolences to the Cawie family. Love from all of us at Zwart’s Topsoil.!

Ted and Jane Fullerton:

When we first met Terry and Bruce it was through our very close friends Chris and Debbie Shwarze. We immediately connected with them and always looked forward to our get togethers. In particular Bruce was always the one that was full of wonderful mischief in whatever was the top of topic. And Terry his calming confident and muse. The two of them were quite a team, such a lovely and warm couple. Bruce was an inspiration of joy and it was a privilege for us to know him. He will be sorrowfully missed.

Our sincere condolences to Terry and Family.
