Bruce was a best mate to my late husband Kevin.
We had some amazing times with Bruce. Always happy and laughing. Saw him in August on trip to Shepparton. Continued on with the banter of times gone by. So sad to hear of his passing. Much love to Barb and family.
He will never be forgotten. Was a big part of our life and a loyal friend.
Love from Sally, Paul, Jo and Tahli. Fondest memories.

Deeply saddened to learn of Bruce´s passing,Bruce and i worked at Deep Cove where Bruce was a foreman in the Tunnel and we lived on the Whanganella.
In 1969 Bruce was my best man at our wedding out at Knapdale,in 1970+71 we shared a house in Perth where Bruce was a foreman for a concrete pumping company on major projects in Perth.
Bruce was also a close friend to my older late brother Ted who died 02-12-2024 aged 82 in Auckland.
I have fond memories of times spent with Bruce both in NZ and Aus,i first met Bruce when i started boarding with his lovely mother Mrs Little in 1965 when i was 16.
Great memories from the days in Crinan St and the Little family,Bruce and i getting stuck in the Appleby Tavern and coming out on leave from Deep Cove and having a Saturday afternoon in the Clyde Tavern with Neil,Jennifer marrying her wonderful Neil,Patricia and Nick putting on my stag party and later Patricia and their baby boy driving to Auckland in MK1 Zephyr convertible and borrowing young Murray´s push bike of an evening to go and visit my girlfriend in Invercargill.
Fabulous memories of Bruce and the whole Little family in days gone bye,i last met up with Bruce in September 2011 in Auckland when he was visiting Trixie and the attached photo was taken.
Deepest sympathy and condolences to Bruce´s wife Barbara and all the Little family.
A good friend gone who is not forgotten,Bruce was a soft hearted good natured character who brings a smile to my face whenever i think of him and that is often.
