Damn.Just logged on after a few days away from KB.

Not good news. RIP Bruce.

My condolences Logan and family.

My thoughts are with you KK & family. RIP Bruce.

After a few days of intermittant KB usage, coming online to see another thread like this really sucks. Every time I see a thread like this I have to consider what my own relatives/people I know would think if this was me. I can only feebly imagine what Bruces relatives and friends are going though...

Things like this put you in your place - no one is immortal.

Hails to KK and everyone else affected.

Colin.

Was thinking that today, as the loss of Bruce reminded me of the KB'ers that have passed away

He was a great guy, meet him at my dad's (paul richardson) barbecues and was always keen to talk bikes. Never got to meet you Logan, but heard plenty about your racing through him. My condolences to you, your brothers and your mother.

Hi Logan, Paul Richardson here. Maryanne and I offer our sympathies to you all. A great mate, Best Man at our wedding and I was a witness at his and your Mum's wedding. Many a night spent at our place or theirs, setting the world to rights with a little lubrication.

Give you Mum our love, we will be there whenever she needs us.

Maryanne and Paul Richardson (Rhino & Scorpy)

PS: RIP Bruce, ride free.

Hi all

This is a message to pass onto Bronwyn, Bruce's wife. We cannot know how you are feeling at the moment but are hearts and thoughts are with you. We will never forget the good times with you guys around at our place or yours or that he was there as Paul's best man and the day of your own wedding. You had a beautiful relationship that we saw grow and grow. We are both gutted and do not know what to do for the best. There have been many tears already. Bruce was always our rock and he was always there for Paul.

We will be there for you all when you need us.

Love and God Bless

Maryanne

My condolences to KK and your family. This is very sad news. Like some of the others I have only met Bruce a couple of times. He certainly was a great guy and will be sadly missed. It is hard to believe that after saying Hi to him on Sunday at Bombay that he has now passed on. I hope the support from the KB people helps ease the pain you guys are feeling.

Rest in Peace Bruce

Nothing I can say that hasn't already ben said better but man its a bummer to see one of the KB family go down. Condolences to all.

**Ghost Lemur** · 15th August 2005, 23:22

Condolences Logan, and to the rest of your family too.

Everything has been articulated by others better than I could do, so I'll "ditto" all their comments.

Good to read you taking the positive attitude through all this, not having known him, I'm still sure he would have prefered it too.

thanks everybody, and Hi to Paul + Maryanne. I have shown mum through most of these posts, and thats kinda helped, thanks maryanne for your post.

Other then that cheers everybody, i dont know how i come across as strong or whatever because i swear its far from how it is, though someone has to keep the regular flow of things going, and things need to be sorted for mum, she needs support and thats what im here for.

I will now just say the worst thing i have ever had to do in life is alone be the one to tell my own mum that her husband wont be coming home. Twas the hardest and longest 10 mins of my life and by far the worst. Thanks dad for coming so quick and being there to support me, and of course mum.

Just wanted to say I know we have to be strong through this Bruce and that you will be watching us, but you’ve left such a gap in our lives it just might take awhile. In the mean time make sure there aint’ just two zeddys waiting up there for you and dad but a third for me as well, don’t stress though - ill give you a good 80 years yet to get her ready for me!
