ELLIOTT, Bruce Leroy - 1918 - 2008, It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Bruce Elliott, beloved husband and father, who passed away in his home, in his 90th year, in Sudbury on Sat. Jan. 19, 2008. Bruce will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 51 years Sigrid, and remembered lovingly in the hearts of his four children: Debbie Elliott-Gaumond (Allan Gaumond) of Sudbury, Kim Elliott of Burlington, Richard Elliott (Glenys) of Aurora and Sherry Elliott (Bob Vukovich) of Burlington. Bruce had 3 brothers, who he cared deeply for: Ross Elliott of Port Hope, Jack Elliott of Peterborough and the late Mack Elliott of Welland. He was a proud grandfather to 10 grandchildren: Darryl and Samantha; Mack, Emma and Jackson; Connor, and Taralyn; Brandon, Erica and Sarah. Bruce lived a long and accomplished life. He was born and raised in Port Hope, Ontario, by his father John and devoted mother Flora. He went on to serve in WWII as a Lieutenant and Regimental Intelligence Officer. He was passionate about education and earned two masters degrees in History and in Spanish. He spoke and wrote 5 languages fluently. He went on to become Principal of Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School in Sudbury in 1963 and respectably held that position for 20 years. Bruce was a lover of nature and on his days off from work and throughout his retirement, he spent quality time at his farm, often riding his tractor. In his retirement, Bruce avidly explored languages and published several papers proving that commonalities exist between many languages, pointing to a common origin. Bruce was a highly intelligent and caring man and we will always remember him with great respect, love and admiration. In accordance with Bruce's wishes, funeral services and interment will be conducted in his home town of Port Hope, Ontario. www.allisonfuneralhome.com 10965873
