deepest sympathy to the family downing
Dear Downing Family & Friends,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Bruce passing. As you journey through this most difficult day – may you have comfort in the fond memories you have of your loved one. Please except our sincere condolences as we pray for your strength and hold you in our hearts.
The Downing Family
Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Bruce was a giving man and a friend to all. He will be missed.
We are so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. Our sincere sympathy to the entire Downing family.
Our deepest sympathy to all of the Downing family. Bruce was such a kind, generous and caring person. We all will miss him!
Our deepest sympathies on your lose. Bruce was a great guy and will be very much missed.
We were very sad to hear of Bruce’s passing. We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Stephen, Christina, Andrew and their extended family. Bruce was always one to laugh the hardest at a joke, and could be counted on to greet you with an honest smile no matter how many years had passed since you had seen him last, and he never forgot your name. Coming from large families with lots of cousins uncles aunts etc. that was quite a feat. As a kid I remember going to the house to get a hair cut from Dale and more often than not we would end up fishing down at the lake with Bruce providing the fishing rods and even bait as we wouldn’t have thought to bring any of those things. Then we would end up staying for supper at his insistence. I don’t think we have known many people that were as genuine as Bruce, he will truly be missed by friends and family alike.
Our deepest sympathies to the Downing family. He was such a kind and wonderful man.
Deepest sympathy to all the Dowing Family. Bruce was a very Special man he isn’t forged.
Dear Stephen, Andrew, Christina and Downing Family
We were so sad to hear of Bruce’s passing. Our deepest sympathies and our condolences from us to your family. He will definitely be missed.

Deepest Sympathy to the Downing Family
He was a giant of a man, with that trademark Downing sense of humour, warmth, kindness, and generosity. I don’t know anyone who didn’t think the world of him. When I was in Cuba a few years ago, I met the owner of Marathon Drilling who knew Bruce (Tommy) through business. He spoke so highly of Downing Drilling, you’d never know he was the competitor.
May you all find peace and comfort in the memories shared that never die.
Andrea Burns
Nos sincères condoléances à toute la famille, tu es dans nos pensées.

Dear Stephen, Christina, Andrew and Downing Family,
We were so sad to hear of Bruce’s passing. Bruce was a great friend and we will certainly miss him. His kindness and friendship will forever live on in our hearts.
Our deepest sympathies and our condolences from us to your family……. He will definitely be missed. Every time we met Bruce, if it were at his shop, in the middle of a bush in Northern Timmins, a drill site he ALWAYS made us laugh. Always had a wonderful drilling story to tell us and some great advice. He has a smile worth a million dollars and the laugh to go with it. Rest in peace my friend
Deepest sympathy to Diane and all the Downing family. Will miss his laugh and our chats.Hi was a wonderful neighbour.
Lucy Darek & Girls
Stephen, Tom and all the Downing Family;
We must always remember what a great father, brother, grandfather, friend and businessman Bruce was. He was a gentleman and often today that is lost. The important fact is that every day you will see your family name when the trucks, drills and crews travel. He will never be forgotten and always close to you.
Peter Stanton, P.Eng.
