ARNOLD, William Bruce - It is with heavy heart we announce the passing of our father, William Bruce Arnold, at 98 years old, at the Sunnybrook Veteran's Centre, Toronto. Predeceased by his second wife, Madi; and his son, Peter. He was a loving father of Robert, John (Linda), Mike (Barb). Proud grandfather of 5, great-grandfather of 5, and great-great-grandfather of 3. Born in Toronto, Bruce was first and foremost a gentle and loving father. He held rank of Lieutenant Commander of the RCN and was later a high school math teacher. He loved dividing his time between his cottage on Little Boshkung Lake and wintering in Florida. He was a loyal fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, an avid reader and Sudoku solver. Cremation has taken place and a private interment was held at Prospect Cemetery on Saturday, May 21, 2022. We should all hope to live a life as fulfilling as Bruce did. (The Toronto Star 19 Jun 2022)
