John Wayne said it best “Courage is being scared to death… and saddling up anyway.”

An informal visitation between 11 am – 12:45 pm with a light lunch served & photoshow played before 1 pm service on Monday September 2nd 2019.  Graveside burial will follow with Rev Nancy Knowles officiating.

All are welcome to “Rooster Last Crow” on Friday, September 20th at 7:00 pm at the Queen’s Inn, 161 Ontario St, Stratford  A time to share your memories, raising a cheer and listening to the music Rooster loved!

Bruce and his family were shown incredible care and compassion during his illness. Thank you to our family, friends, the London Cancer Clinic and Pain Specialist, Stratford Hospital, Stratford Home Services, and to the wonderful compassionate staff and volunteers at the Stratford Hospice- words can never express the gratitude we have for the last weeks helping all of us with this last part of the journey.
