Bruce THOMPSON Obituary

Hi Beryl.
I have just heard of Bruce's passing. My memories of both you and Bruce are of joy and friendship. When working with Bruce the days were always satisfying and interesting. A man of great presence generosity always positive. I feel fortunate to have known him as a friend and colleague.

Bruce was an Officiating Chaplain at the RNZN Base. A faithful priest and friend. Condolences to Beryl and Family. Sadly missed by the Chaplains and Naval personnel who served with him. May he Rest in Peace and rise in glory.

Bruce was a dear friend of mine at the international Coffee Hour, hosted virtually on Sundays by the Washington National Cathedral. We would always share a warm greeting in the chat or update via email. I was saddened to learn of his passing. My deepest condolences to his wife, Beryl, and the rest of the family. May he rest in eternal peace.

At Rangitoto College, Mr Thompson kindly machined up the wooden nose cone for a wind turbine I was building for the science exhibition in 1979. I remember he also used to support the Christian students group at Rangi. My sympathy to Beryl and family.

Haere, haere, haere atu ra, e te Rangatira Reverand Bruce Thompson. Ka okioki mau na te whanau o Hemi Tapu Church, Kelston me te whanau o Te Mihana Maori. Haere ki nga ringa o Te Atua. Ka tino pouri matou e rongona i te panui nei. You will dearly missed. Arohatino Rev. Bruce. A wonderful servant of God..

Bruce was a person I got to know in the field of music, through his great love of organ music and pipe organs. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
