WINDELER, Bruce Ross - We sadly announce the passing of Bruce Windeler, age 86, on Thursday, December 24, 2020, in Harbourstone Enhanced Care in Sydney, NS. Bruce was born in Grand Falls, NL and was the son of Henry and Dorothy (Brain) Windeler of Charlottetown, PEI and father to 7 children. He was a stationary engineer at STORA in Port Hawkesbury until his retirement. As a long-time member of the local fire department in Port Hawkesbury, we have many memories of him rushing down the stairs to go to a late-night call. We spent every summer going on camping trips to PEI and as far away as BC with him being the sole driver. Bruce was the type of person who could do anything he set his mind to, whether it was sewing a new canvas for the tent trailer, building a log cabin or furniture, or fixing anything broken. He enjoyed word find puzzles, reading the newspaper, hunting, fishing and telling stories. He travelled extensively, starting earlier in his life as a merchant marine and later with his wife Betty. Summers were spent at the cabin he built in Orangedale. Bruce is survived by his sons, Henry (Janet Wiseman), Goose Bay and Keith, Athabasca; his daughters, Dorothy (Gary Kaiser), Mira, Colleen (Shawn Cassidy), Westmount, Charlene (Darren Drake), Calgary and daughter in law Helen, Alberta. He is also survived by his sister Marjorie, Montreal, 16 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Betty; sons, Ross and Brian and his brother, Harvey. A celebration of Life will be held 1 p.m., Saturday, July 24 in St. Joseph Parish Cemetery, Port Hawkesbury. Arrangements are under the care of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury.
