Obituary of Samuel Bruce Ferguson

FERGUSON: Bruce “Fergie” 1939 – 2017 It is with profound sadness that I announce that Bruce passed away peacefully on Friday January 6, 2017 at the Ross Memorial Hospital, Lindsay, with his wife of almost 49 years, Jean (Randall) by his side. Bruce retired in 1998 after having worked with the TB of E for 34 years. Predeceased by his mother, father, brothers David, Bill and Bob and sister Gladys. Left to mourn him are his sisters Eileen, Viola and Bernice, sister-in-law Lorraine (Kemp) and his furry friend Cal. He also had many nieces and nephews of whom he was very proud. It was Bruce’s decision, which I will honour, that there be no formal funeral service. A gathering of friends and family will take place in the summer. Cremation has taken place. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Ross Memorial Hospital, Palliative Care Unit as expressions of sympathy and may be made by contacting THE HENDREN FUNERAL HOMES, MONK CHAPEL, 6 Helen St., Bobcaygeon, at www.hendrenfuneralhome.com or 705-738-3222. In honour of Bruce, I ask that you raise a glass, place a bet on #11 in the 6th race and say a silent prayer thanking God for having him in our lives for as long as we did. I, along with our family and his many friends, old and new, to numerous to mention, will miss him terribly. “If there are no garage sales in heaven, there will be…… soon!” “Gone to the big race track in the sky…”
