In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
ZWICKER, Bruce Edward (Sudsy) - Age 77, Londonderry. It is with great sadness and much love that we say goodbye to Bruce "Sudsy" Zwicker. He passed away on May 5, 2024, in Halifax. Born on November 25, 1946, in Peterborough, Ontario to proud parents, George and Joan, who instilled in him the values of honour and service.
Bruce was a loving husband to Daralyn; a caring father to Lisa (Mark) and Jodi (Mario); grandfather to Breanne; big brother to Susan (Kim) Hillier and Judy (Stephen) Locke; stepfather to Jason and Timothy; uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.
Bruce joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1964 to serve his country and "see the world." Over the span of his 28 years of service, Bruce served on eight different ships, the fleet diving unit and various land-based naval units. During his time in the Navy, Bruce spent nine months aboard the HMCS Terra Nova as a Hull Technician during the first Gulf War.
Beyond his military career, Bruce was deeply involved in community organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion and the Masonic Lodge. He was President of the Legion, Branch 72, in Great Village, from 2005 to 2006. He was also a third-degree Master Mason at the North Star Masonic Lodge in Londonderry. Bruce was Master of the Lodge from 2007 to 2008, and most recently he served as the historian and Marshall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bruce's honour to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
A Masonic service followed by a Legion Tribute will take place on Wednesday, May 15th beginning 1 pm in Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro, NS where friends can come together one last time before Bruce crosses the bar. (Colchester Community Funeral Home)
