It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bruce Herbert Redmond at the Lucky Lake Health Care Centre on July 26, 2016 at the age of 94 years.

He then began his farming career which lasted 49 years. Bruce enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, gardening, coffee row, playing cards, camping and most of all loved being with family. Bruce liked learning new things and could fix anything. For 30 years he supplemented the household income with his self-taught skills.
