It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of
Robert Bruce Carter, 68, of Murray
Corner, NB on Monday, April 13, 2020 at the Moncton
Hospital. Born in Moncton, Bruce was a son of the late
Robert Allan and Elaine (Canning) Carter.
Bruce
graduated from Mount Allison University, and has held many jobs,
including a 35+ year career with NBTel / Aliant in IT Management,
however his favorite job of all has been being Grampy. Spending time
with his grandson has brought them both, and our entire family, so
much joy. With the lightness of laughter and warmth of his smile,
Bruce lived his retirement to the fullest, enjoying his bowling league
and time spent doing alley maintenance. His Wednesday morning coffee
group meetings were dear to his heart.
Our family and his many friends, have appreciated
Bruce's versatile intelligence, insight, quick wit and sharp sense of
humor. Generous with his time and knowledge, with a life-long love of
wildlife and the outdoors, his hard working nature has lent skill and
talent to carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and endless building and
repair projects. His physical strength and strength of character,
flexibility, kindness, and steadfast support, have been such blessings
to his family.
Papa - we'll miss you
forever and love you for always. Thank you for all that you've shared
with us.
