Sad Note
(courtesy OCA and CCA)

It is with much sorrow that I must inform you of the sudden death of Mr. Bruce Timmerman this past weekend. Bruce was truly an ambassador for cycling and dedicated much of his adult life promoting and working at his passion.

The cause of Bruce's death at this time is unknown. Bruce fell from his bike and never re-gained conscious.

A funeral for Bruce will be held at St.Timothy's, 2400 Alta Vista Dr., Ottawa on Saturday, October 17, 10:00 am.

Should you wish to forward any special thoughts or note a past special occasion please do so by sending an e-mail to:

rtrotter@freenet.comcarleton.on.ca

Thank you

Patrick Healy
(Executive Director, CCA)

(Editor's Note: I agree strongly with the thoughts expressed here. Ever since I can remember, Bruce has been a mainstay of cycling and advocacy in the Ottawa area, and within the Ottawa Bicycle Club. His passion and energy will be sorely missed.)
