Kevin Erbe says:

My sympathy to Doug’s Family. An extremely valuable friend of Myself & wife Connie on our arrival from Kalgoorlie in 1964. Doug was one of the better players for our Bunbury Braves ( Club ) and the Bunbury combined sides in Baseball.
Doug, as as a Traffic Officer was of great assistance to our 3 eldest sons during their early driver days.
Goodbye Doug, you leave us with fond memories.

 

  • Kevin Erbe says:

    DOUG’S family,
    My apology for non-attendance at the Funeral Service for Doug.
    An out of town medical appointment, prior impending surgery is the reason.

    My regards,

I ( Ron Alexander ) worked with Bruce at the North Sydney Highway Patrol (1984 – 1987).  In 1985, Bruce and I were selected to participate in the development of a trial (4 day) Anti-Terrorist driving course at the Police Driving School, St. Ives, as the Highway Patrol was used for mobile security details.  The powers to be wanted to provide a higher level of protection for visiting Heads of State and NSW Governor.

Bruce was diagnosed with cancer sometime after that and later transferred to Engadine HWP.  I understand that Bruce continued to work through his treatment, until he could no longer perform his duties, due to the illness.

 

When Bruce was on Roster, everyone wanted to work with him.

Bruce had an infectious smile, causing all who saw it to smile back.  He was a loyal colleague and his word was his bond.

It was a sad day when he passed.  His wife Judith Louise SPADARO only recently passed away, July 2017.
