Obituary for William Bruce "Bruce" Munro

Mr. William Bruce Munro of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away at the Red Deer Hospice on Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the age of 83 years. Bruce was born on March 25, 1932 at Salvador, Saskatchewan and moved to Saskatoon at the age of six. Bruce completed his High School at Bedford Road Collegiate and played football for the Saskatoon Hilltops (Division Champs). After completing High School, Bruce attended the University of Saskatchewan and started a Degree in Education, which he finished at the University of Alberta. Bruce’s first teaching position was at Bowness High in 1963. In 1964, he took a position at Drumheller High as a Trades Teacher, teaching Electricity. In 1967, Bruce moved his family to Red Deer and began teaching at Lindsay Thurber, where he continued until his retirement. Having the summers free, one of Bruce’s passions was land development. Bruce spent many summers developing Sylvan Harbour Estates, now known as Rustic Crescent. Many of those summers included his two oldest sons, who loved spending time with Dad and driving big trucks and front end loaders. If Bruce wasn’t out on a trail ride or skiing out in the Windermere Valley with close friends and family, he was fixing something for someone who needed his expertise. Left to hold the memories are his wife, Isabelle ‘Belle’; sons, Murray and Brian (Luiga); grandson, David; and granddaughter, Emma. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Larry and Queenie; his loving son, David; sister, Fran; and a brother, Gerry. A Celebration of Bruce’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. If desired, Memorial Donations in Bruce’s honor may be made directly to the Red Deer Hospice at www.reddeerhospice.com.
