    May you experience God’s comfort and love at this time. We fondly remember Bruce, our first days of knowing the Lord were together with both of you. It was a wonderful time, just think how great it is where Bruce is now. Fred Munnings passed away today, they will be praising the Lord together. We look forward to that also, no more pain or goodbyes; Soon and very soon….Keep looking up, may the Lord bless all of you.

    I wish I could be there today, my heart is with you all. I will miss my favourite Uncle, Uncle Bruce. He was a very strong yet gentle man and a bit of a jokester! . He helped my Pa with his moving business and Thanks to him, Pa got into the horse business! Wish we had lived closer, but I have a lot of fond memories. He was a great brother in law, brother, and Uncle to my family. He will be missed greatly, my thoughts and prayers are with you today and always,
    Love, Kathy

    We had the luck to be neighbours of the Nicholsons for 15 years while on James Street in Clinton. With no fences and big lots, we enjoyed sharing gardening tips, produce, tools, baby sitting duties, sage advice, and the occasional political discussion. Weโ€™ll always fondly remember them. Lois & Jim Fitzgerald, Andrea Kris, and Fraser

    We are thinking of you and your family. I remember dropping off dad’s sausage for Bruce on my way to London and how you took me in during a winter storm on my way home. Bruce always had a warm welcoming smile. He will be missed
