Kath, so sorry to hear about Bruce. So many memories of you, Bruce, your family, your Dad, IBM and Medicine Hat all came flooding back when I saw the announcement in LinkedIn. Tracy and I hope that you and the family take comfort in all the great memories that you built over the years. Our time together at IBM with you and Bruce were some of the best times if our life. All our love! Dave and Tracy.

Dear Kath, I was so sorry to hear about Bruce.  I cannot pretend to imagine the sense of loss you and your family are feeling.  Far, far too young.

I know that you both have been caring for and helping others for decades and I am sure that many of those that you have cared for will return your compassion and love to help you through.

Kath and family, I was saddened to hear of Bruce’s passing. Both you (Kath) and Bruce were two of my favourite people at IBM - you were both so kind, calm and caring! You were blessed to have found each other and to have shared a beautiful life together. Bruce’s spirit will be remembered by the many people he touched with his calm demeanour, his kind spirit and his warm smile. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. Dave

I had the GREAT honor of knowing Bruce while he worked with me at Bromwich. I fondly remember our times whiteboarding ideas on how to proceed with the technical aspect of the projects we were working on. Bruce was always jovial, understanding and best of all inquisitive. Bruce was never afraid to ask questions, knowing that the tiniest of details mattered to the delivery of a project.

On a more personal note, during these sessions we would inevitably turn the discussions to fishing, or his fishing boat, or the best lakes and best styles of fishing. Being a fisherman myself, I was impressed by his experience and enjoyed these discussions immensely.

I was shocked to see this post on FB, and I'm saddened by this news. My best wishes go out to his family.

Be at peace Bruce.....

Kath and family, I was saddened to learn of Bruce's passing. My heart goes out to you along with my condolences. It was great working with Bruce at IBM. His skills, professionalism and integrity in all situations enabled him to serve as a role model to so many. Bruce would take on the most challenging assignments with confidence and determination. He was also a really good person. I wish you all the best at this difficult time. Take care.

Kath and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bruce was such a kind and wonderful person with a great sense of humor. We'll cherish the many memories of Bruce at the annual fishing derby with his "Five-Buck" crew, the golf tournaments and just being fortunate enough to have known him. He always had a smile and a positive outlook regardless of the situation, he will be missed!

I had the honour to get to know Bruce and worked with him for almost 2 years. I will miss his genuine, thoughtful and caring character.

He always thought of how he could lend a hand and help others while having fun and living life to the fullest. We shared lots of laughter and great stories about his adventures. He loved his family dearly, and I will surely miss him.

My heartfelt condolences to Bruce’s family and loved ones.

Rest in peace, my friend.

I was very saddened to learn of Bruce's death as were we all. I had known Bruce since he started his career at IBM...as a co-op student as I recall. He was always a great worker and good friend and I know will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family. My heart goes out to his direct family, especially Kath, who I know was the love of his life. God bless you all...

So sorry to hear about Bruce passing so young! I worked with Bruce at the CBE and we had many conversations. He was a hard worker and a really nice guy and will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to his wife, kids and grandkids! RIP Bruce! Hugs and prayers for peace for the family!

I worked with Bruce. Actually, I hired Bruce and never regretted it. I instantly took a liking to him because of his kindness and unflappable nature, which was needed in the organization we both worked at...lol. I was stunned to hear of his passing and wish to pass on my condolences to the family. He was a good man which is all we can strive to be.

Kath, I am so sorry to hear about Bruce. My heart goes out to you and your family. I was shocked frankly. Bruce was a great guy, liked by everyone who knew him, and was excellent at his work. Bruce will be missed by everyone that knew him. May he rest in peace. Brian Wilkey

Dear Kath and family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in heartfelt consolation of the grief you now bear. We will always cherish having known Bruce. His warm smile and cheerful demeanor made anyone around him feel welcome. The countless hours he spent volunteering with Catholic Engaged Encounter helped so many couples find a deeper richness in their relationships. Our community will dearly miss him sharing his time and life stories with us. May his soul rest in peace for all eternity.

Hi,

I knew Bruce for a very short time as a colleague, but I feel like we connected so well. Now that he is not among us, I miss his beautiful, wholesome smile even more. Bruce was always very pleasant, lovely, and positive, he would bring a fun twist to no matter what situation at work. His energy was so infectious. :) He would always talk about his family; it showed how proud and happy he was of you all. I hope he is at a very happy place wherever he is, smiling and laughing like always.

I also want to share my condolences and heartwarming hugs to his family, especially his partner. We never had a chance to meet, but you all sound like a beautiful soul, too.

I hope you all come out of these trying times soon and are taking good care of yourself as well. We all share your loss and can only say that this shall also pass. Please reach out if there's anything I can do. <3

Much love and hugs,

Kirti

As Bruce is born into eternity Kath, may I offer you and Bruce's Family my sympathies for your loss. Swept up as he is in the love of God may you cherish his presence to all of you in a new way. What a fine man he has been, a gentle and generous friend to all.

God bless you as you embrace one another.

Someone who shared so much life with you ,is never truly gone, your bond you share are everlasting. So sorry for your loss. John and Wanda Mulvihill

Condolences to the Larsson Family ... Bruce and I were very close as youngsters.... spending many summers together on the Larsson farm and also on Lake Armstrong here in Greater Sudbury . We had always planned on visiting Bruce in Calgary and attending the Calgary Stampede together .. but then Covid came around and my health matters the past couple of years kept me from traveling. We will miss Bruce .. his kindness and his intelligence and wit.. Love you my Cuz .. always fondly remembered .. Barry DeGrechie and Family

To the Larsson Family,Please accept my condolences ,my cousin Bruce was a kind and generous person, we didn’t get to see each other often, last time was at his uncle Gerry’s 90th birthday,here in Sudbury. Bruce always enjoyed a good laugh, and always had a way to make one smile. RIP my cousin I will miss you,but you will always be in my memories.

Love always Kathy Wagner O’Neill

I'm deeply sadden to hear about the loss of Bruce. A wonderful person indeed. It has been close to ten years us guys would get together on most weekends and play golf on line. Bruce was always so upbeat, witty, and competitive in an amusing manner. I always looked forward to our weekend get togethers even though it was just chatting on line playing golf. My heart is breaking I will truly miss you my friend.

I'm wishing the Larsson Family peace and comfort during this painful and difficult time.

Take Care
