B.Eng., P.Eng., Memorial University (Class ‘88). Died suddenly on August 23, 2009 in Ottawa at the age of 47, originally of Mount Pearl. Leaving to mourn his sad loss are his loving and devoted wife Sherry Symonds of 19 years, his beloved daughter Brianna; his devoted parents Clara and Roy Evely; two cherished sisters Nancy Dillon (Jason), Bonnie Bishop (Tim) of New Brunswick and three precious nephews and one niece: Drew, Gavin, Taylor and Corrisa Lynn. Left also to mourn his sad loss are his brother-in-law Wayne Symonds (Brenda), his sister-in-law Wendy Whelan (David), and his brother-in-law Dereck Symonds. Missed also by many aunts and uncles and many friends and colleague in Ottawa and Newfoundland. Bruce was a former employee of Newfoundland Hydro from 1990-1992 and then spent five years with the engineering and design team of Hibernia Management & Development Company during the construction of the Hibernia platform. He ventured to Ottawa where he joined the Newbridge Networks team working through two mergers to today’s Alcatel-Lucent. Bruce created the “Stittsville Haunt”, which during its 10 years grew to become the premier Halloween home yard haunt in Ottawa. His creative genius benefited The Foodbank in Ottawa as the local media supported his efforts to collect food and cash donations to help people in need. To commemorate his passion and creativity, we ask that in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Ottawa Foodbank. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 5, at 11 a.m. at Barrett’s Funeral Home, 73 Commonwealth Ave., Mount Pearl. A reception will be held following the service.
