So sorry to hear of the passing of Bruce,

He was always the highlight of the week when we would unload our fish into Bluff from Stewart Island only to be met with his quick wit and humor.

A real loss but we are all the richer with the memory´s he left us.

Rest easy Bruce.

Condolences to all the family.

Hayden Johnson.

Thinking of all the Thompson family.Bruce was a very good friend of my late husband Kevin when they both drove buses in Gore. Spent many nights enjoying the company of Colin and Margaret along with the family at their farm.
