Jan. 21, 1942 - Sept. 25, 2012
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Bruce McIntosh announces his peaceful passing on September 25, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Bruce is survived by his loving wife Mieke, his son Clayton of Melbourne, Australia; his stepchildren Beatrice and Jamie of Langley, B.C.; his brother Warwick (Christine) of Taupiri, New Zealand and his sister-in-law Eileen of Auckland, New Zealand. Also missing their “Grumpy Gramps” are William, Taylor, Logan and Mya.
Bruce was predeceased by his father Wilfred, his mother Marjorie and his beloved brother Ross.
Bruce was born in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. He came to Canada in 1967 and worked his way across the country first as a ski instructor and later in development and managerial positions of ski areas. Once on the West Coast Bruce became the Inspecting Engineer of aerial tramways for the Min. of Transportation and Highways. Bruce and Mieke were married in Langley in 1992. They retired to their cabin at Sheridan Lake where the happy couple became involved in the Interlakes Snowmobile Club and Bruce created his company “Sheridan Solar Energy Systems”.
Bruce was liked by so many people for his honesty, his sense of humor and his infectious laugh. He was a wonderful husband and a good father to his children. This gentle man will be sadly missed but never forgotten by those who loved him.
A celebration of Bruce’s life will be announced at a later date.
Donations in Bruce’s memory may be made to the 100 Mile Hospice Palliative Care Society, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, B.C., V0K 2E0.
