Bruce was passionate about physical activity, finishing numerous Ironmans, marathons and races that showcased his dedication to fitness. Exploring various sports was another of his interests with ventures into activities such as bodybuilding, crossfit, skiing, hiking, biking and bowling. Sharing these experiences with his wife, Sherry, and their family brought him immense joy, particularly during their travels and time spent in Canmore.
Bruce cherished the companionship of animals, most notably, his three dogs, Sydney, Freya and Odin, often dedicating time to walk them right here in Popson Park. It was his favorite way to start the day.
Professionally, Bruce had a successful career as an engineer, culminating in the ownership of his own company, BDT Engineering Ltd. Working alongside his dedicated team and for his clients, was a source of fulfillment for him. He also volunteered his time in the community serving on the city's Municipal Planning and the Lethbridge Police Commissions, and as a past Rotarian.
