Bruce Nicholson

September 2, 2014 By Egan Funeral Home 21 Condolences

Bruce

It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my dear husband Bruce – loved father of Greg, Gary and Leann, and their families; Laurie, Stefanie, and Jamie, Gareth, Tristam and Madeleine. 54 years ago we were married on Bruce’s birthday. He often said I was his birthday gift.

At Bruce’s request, a private family service was held shortly after his passing.

In Bruce’s honor, donations can be made to the War Amps Child Amputation Program (CHAMP), 2827 Riverside Drive, Ottawa K1V 0C4 or to the Hospital for Sick Children for children with cancer, 555 University Avenue, Toronto M5G 1X8.

Arrangements by Egan Funeral Home, Bolton (905-857-2213).

    On behalf of Marilyn, my dad and the entire Price family, we wish to share our deepest sympathies. The Nicolson Family has been a rock to our family for many, many years (well before I or Marilyn were around.) I hope we can provide that back to you now.
    Bruce always had a great sense of Humour. He could always make you laugh, always. I’m very proud to say I knew him and I know my dad called him a dear friend.

    With Love,
    Donald Sr., Donald Jr.,& Marilyn Price

    Norma, Greg, Gary and Leann,

    As a former Forest Court-er, I have many memories of Bruce, who was always Mr. Nicholson to the kids on the street. Being the same age as Leann, we often played in and around your home. I have a vivid memory from decades ago when Bruce and Norma let us create a “haunted house” in the large garage and bring some other neighborhood kids in for a scare.

    My parents, Barb and Ron, always mentioned humour whenever they spoke of Bruce over the years and clearly, Norma and Bruce were special neighbors to have for so long.

    I hope you are taking strength from one another in your loss,

    Derek McLean
