1987
Bruce Grimes (MBA) died suddenly on Aug. 7 at age 53 in Victoria, BC. He will be remembered by his Queen’s classmates for his sense of humour and powerful laugh, ski trips to Lake Placid and Whistler among others, countless nights at the Grad Club, many late night debates over a Coors Light or two as he endeavored to solve the most pressing world problems of the day, his own brand of grumpy enthusiasm for life but, not least, for his unique and special way of making you feel good about yourself. Born in Ottawa and raised in Winnipeg, Bruce completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Manitoba (BCom’79). He loved to travel and participate in sports, especially hockey, skiing and rowing. It was at the Winnipeg Rowing Club that Bruce met his wife Deb in 1983. Bruce’s career successes included Great West Life and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
