Obituary of DAVIDSON – Robert Bruce

On Saturday, September 26, 2009, Jesus called Bruce Davidson to His side. We rejoice that Bruce is now with his Lord, but we are saddened with the loss of our devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Shirley; his children, Mary (Brad) Baker, Ann, Charlie (Shauna), and May (Rick) Perizzolo; and his grandchildren, Devin, Kendra, Cole, Dylan, Mikayla, Athena, Isabella, Connor, and Charleigh. Bruce was born in Walkerville, Ont. and spent his childhood in Lindsay, Ont., where he began his retail career with Zellers and met his future wife, Shirley. He is remembered by many whom he mentored and guided throughout his 41 years with the company. Bruce’s true passion was always his family. Nothing was more important to him, and every member of his family has been blessed with his wisdom, guidance, support, and love. His family is his greatest achievement. Bruce also touched many lives with his music. He sang with the Calgary Philharmonic Choir for over 30 years, and his tenor voice, rich and beautiful, praised the Lord with St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church choir. Bruce will be remembered as a man who always put family first, was kind and generous to everyone he met, filled hearts with joy and music, delighted in making people laugh, and lived and loved well. ‘Make a joyful noise unto the Lord’ when we celebrate Bruce’s life at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church (703 Heritage Drive S.W. Calgary, AB T2V 2W4) on Friday, October 2, 2009 at 1:00 pm. Please forward condolences through www.mcinnisholloway.com. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bruce’s honour to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund (address above). In living memory of Bruce Davidson, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Park Memorial Chapel, 5008 ELBOW DRIVE S.W. Telephone 403-243-8200.
