Dear Debbie, my most sincere condolences to you with the passing of Bruce. You were indeed real soul mates as I remember the fun times we shared at club med in Tahiti.
What wonderful memories you have of the many adventures you shared together. Much love to you and your family.

Such a warm and generous person Bruce will be deeply missed by all of his family. There will be many fabulous memories you will be able to hang onto over the years. Deepest sympathies and warmest regards Deb

Brilliant athlete and real estate agent Helped me get a lot of deals, Was great at any sports as i learnt very quickly. Mortdog.

Bruce was a strong and encouraging leader at school whom we all admired. Kind, gentle, thoughtful and a good friend to many. So very sorry to hear of his passing.

To our beloved friend, you will always be with us and we will always remember you.
It's a very sad day and we all send a big hug to all family of Bruce and Deb!

because of a medical issue i could not attend Bruce's funeral today and intended to say some words at his funeral so will say them now.
i met Bruce around 25 yrs ago around year 2000. Bruce had been working in Residential real estate but wanted a stint in Commercial & Industrial - Bruce knew a guy called Peter Sunberg who was at that time sharing an office with Justin Wyborn with who i had just done a deal - Peter suggested that Bruce have a chat to me. i had just started a south auckland CBRE commercial real estate office with about 15 staff mostly twenty to 30 yr olds - i am the same age as Bruce so he was a great fit into our team - whilst knowledge about property he was also a great guy and a safe pair of hands so a perfect co-agent - some time later i helped start up Savills here in NZ and Bruce followed me across. bruce was always a more of a "part time" commercial agent as he had lots of other interests including about 12 houses he owned & co managed with Deb's plus Bruce did a lot of travel especially to his beloved Italy, did lots of surfing and spent time with his wider family - 6 kids and growing number of Grandkids. such a fit active, positive person to have passed so suddenly without warning was a shock - i have thought about Bruce everyday since his passing as still cannot believe he has gone. whilst he was with CBRE and Savills he was often my right hand man

Ciao Bruce,I ll be with you.

We´re thinking of you today Bruce, and all the people grieving your untimely death. Rest in Peace

Piha is a little less bright now. To Debbie and the whole family we are so devastated for you. Bruce was a shining light at Piha. A friendly face over the fence and a regular sense of calm out at a crazy beach. We will miss his neighbourly ways and will think of him always as we pass `webdog´ on our walk home. Love to you all during this toughest of time, and Bruce- keep an eye on Piha from up above for us.

Bruce,
words cannot express the pain and sorrow we feel because of your passing. Our deepest condolences go to Debbie and the whole family, and we wish you all the strength in the days ahead.

We are incredibly grateful that we had the privilege of knowing you, Bruce - such a truly special person. I will always treasure my time in New Zealand, when you and Debbie welcomed me into your home. I am so lucky to call you my New Zealand parents. That bond has continued through our shared trips in Europe and the wonderful times together in Munich.

You will never be forgotten. We believe we will meet again one day - not yet, but when the time comes, we will look forward to seeing you again.

Rest in peace, Bruce.
Alex and your German family

Bruce and Deb are my kiwi family and a proper family away from home. For the ten years I have been in New Zealand, they made me feel loved like a son and supported in any difficult moments. I have so many memories together that it is impossible to list them all. The first week during which they hosted me in their house when I moved in New Zealand in 2014; the incredible days and nights spent in Piha playing rugby on the beach, swimming, eating, drinking, and singing; the lunches and dinners at their home in Mission Bay and Kohi; the Christmas days; the aperitivos during the week; and many many many more.

Bruce was one the most exceptional people I have ever met in my life. His endless energy, his constant happiness, his beautiful smile, his contagious laugh, and his marvelous charm made him the incredible man that we all love. He had the most incredible ability to put together so many different people in one place and create the most amazing atmosphere where everybody had a great time and feel happy - all because of his natural and beautiful charisma and personality.

He has always been the most comforting presence - you knew that if you were a bit down or needed a bit of happiness during a grey day, Bruce was always there to provide you happiness and love with a smile on his face and his beautiful laugh.

He is leaving us with a big void to fill - and we can just fill it with beautiful memories of the times we spent together with the most incredible person.

Ciao Nimal, I will love you forever

n loving memory of my best friend, Bruce Webb
My condolences to Debbie and family.

I met Bruce Webb as an honest friend, a great sportsman, and a businessman I deeply respected.
Every time we caught up, we shared laughter and good memories. He had a special way of making people feel welcome and valued.

Bruce made me feel like a brother in real life, not just a friend. That bond, the laughs, and the respect we shared will stay with me always.

He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

We met Bruce in a camp ground in Pamplona. It was 1980
and our combi van had broken down. A blonde kiwi surfer type with a huge smile, offered to help. And a connection was made which saw us share adventures in Europe and across the ditch over 45 yrs.
Bruce was a great communicator, a connector of people- his gift and role model for us all.
Heartfelt condolences to family at this difficult time.

Remembering a great friend and neighbour from our Piha community we farewell you and honour you and send our deepest condolences to Debbie and Bruce´s family.

I first met Bruce in the early 1980s when I interviewed him for a sales position in our real estate business in Tauranga. Within an hour it was as though we had been friends for years. That was the effect that Bruce´s warm engaging manner had on others. Bruce was with us for almost ten years before continuing his very successful real estate career based in Auckland.
Every now and then someone can come into your life and your heart and although life can take you down separate paths they will always be there. That was Bruce. Inspiring, admired and so very much loved by so many.

Deb, i know and understand what will be immense grief and shock at the loss of your very special soul mate.
Immerse yourself in the caring and love of your friends and family.

Many thoughts come back to me about Bruce. Your friendly smile will always be remembered by me. Everyones friend is who you were Bruce.
I can see you now in the real estate office in Remuera. A welcoming smile and always there to chat through anything.
Taken away from your loved ones far too soon
Rest in Peace Bruce.

I´m at an absolute shock and surprise to hear the sad news

Debbie our thoughts are with you and your families at this time of the sudden passing of Bruce. Mary & Gerald

My heart just missed a beat when receiving this news.. I did not know Bruce very well but we met last March / April in Rote whilst surfing and (me) photographing Tland.. we had an instant friendly connection, I am originally from the Netherlands but live in Australia and Indonesia.. so there was lots to talk about.. what a beautiful and kind person, I am so sorry for this loss.. my deepest condolences for family and lifelong friends, Evelyne

Thinking of you and the family Deb, devastating news you are in our thoughts and prayers . Bruce started as my landlord which developed into a great friendship, occasionally you and Bruce would pop into the apartment in Mission Bay to say hi and have a glass of wine Bruce and I would yak about rugby and surfing. Treasured memories of not only a special man but a special partner and special family.
Rest in love Bruce we will miss you mate but guaranteed never forget you one for the road

Debbie, so sad to hear of your loss, you are in our thoughts & prayers at this difficult time. John & Jayne

I´m sending you all my strength and love.

Dear Debbie and dear Webb family, I'm still shocked for this incredible loss..
My husband Dario who passed away in 2012, considered Bruce like a brother and he became the same for me every time he visited Viadana in Italy. Me and Dario shared beautiful moments with Bruce, Debbie and their wonderful family and I had the honour of being their guest in NZ.
Bruce will remain in the hearts of his friends for ever..
Dear Debbie, I feel close to you in your grief...let your wonderful family and friends hold you up and carry you on through life. With love
Gio

Tanti ricordi che rimarranno per sempre mi legano a Bruce. Con immenso dolore mando un abbraccio a Debbie ed a tutta la famiglia.

Hi Bruce, it's a sad day, but I want to remember all the good times we had together. You were a great friend who remembered me every time he came to Italy. Even though we didn't play together, we had great times, and I'm honored to be your friend. Bye 'nimal,' I love you. Have a good trip.
Abitanti hug to Deb and all.

Ciao bruce! Porterò sempre con me il tuo sorriso, il tuo affetto, la tua generosità, la tua voglia di vivere e condividere!
Debbie cara ti mando tutta l'energia che ho per sostenerti almeno un po'.

Chère Debbie
une pensée du pays basque qui je l´espère t´aidera à traverser ce moment si difficile
Bien amicalement

Dear Debbie, Viv ,I am just still trying to fathom the loss of Bruce in your lives. Bruce was such a friend in the Opunake days. So much fun and mischief with Mike, Paddy and Graeme M. and others. He has always been a constant in my life since then and particularly over the last 20 years keeping in touch and catching up, eg the World Cup in Paris and lately at Piha. Bruce and you lived and loved your life to the fullest. Aroha. viv Norris

Debbie I dont even have the words to say how much I know you will be grieving the loss of your man !Your life with him has been abundantly filled with so much love and adventures , I was so privileged to sharing some special times with you both and our French-Kiwi connection .Avec amour Cindy et Jacques

Dear Debbie, dear whole of Bruce´s family, Bruce has been our best friend for 45 years, since he came to play rugby in Viadana ( a small town in Northern Italy). He and Debbie visited us and we lived together many happy days, important moments of our life. We will treasure our friendship forever, we will treasure your kindness, your happy and positive attitude toward life.
But we will miss you so much as our life will not be the same without you. Thank you Brucello for everything you have donated to us. You will be with us forever. We love you all

Dear Debbie and family we are all totally at a loss to understand what has happened here!. This man who was truly loved by men and women for his cheeky grin and indomitable spirit and genuine kindness and love for all.Let your family and friends hold you up and carry you on through life.. that´s the way Bruce would have wanted it. See you soon. Love Paul and Jennifer xx

Dear Debbie
We are so shocked to hear your devastating news. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Fond love
Jenny and Geoff Bramley xx

Special work mate from Eves Realty days, shocked and sad of his passing So glad we had a great staff reunion last year where we were all together, such special memories!
My sincere condolences to Debbie and his family and loved ones.
Love Julene Foster Mount Maunganui

Still in shock! Hard to fathom this. Bruce was a good man and I shared quite a few good times with him. We first met in our first year at St Kents. I have many memories of those days. Bruce also helped me with some real estate matters. Very professional and great at his profession. I'm shocked because he lived such a healthy lifestyle. He was fit and enjoyed his time with his family and travels. My sincere condolences to Debbie and his family & loved ones.

Great work mate from Eves Realty days so sad of his passing. Had a great staff reunion last year so glad we were all there. Luv Steve and Rhonda Hunt tauranga
