The Chroicle Herald, Halifax, August 12, 2009
MOULTON, John Albert "Bruce" 58, of Elderbank, was a father, husband, brother, son, uncle, and friend. He was a plumber by trade, mentor and teacher who had a positive influence on many young people, especially his loving children, Beth, Ben and William. He coached several teams in softball, soccer, badminton, table tennis, volleyball and basketball. He loved to talk and easily developed relationships with new people and maintained special relationships with friends from childhood. No matter how difficult the situation, he had you laughing by the end of the conversation. He approached most situations in a logical, meticulous way and completed them to a high standard. He once said he stopped lying as a young fellow because he started believing his own lies and he knew that wasn't right. He loved his family dearly and his closest friends intensely.

After his father had a stroke, he took over the running of J. A. Moulton & Son, Plumbing and Heating Ltd. until its closure in 1990. At this time the family moved to Elderbank and for 17 years he willingly took on the role of stay-at-home Dad. In addition, he enjoyed supporting his community as a board member at the hospital and treasurer at church. He derived great pleasure with young people through coaching at the high school and on the Elderbank ball field. He was a table tennis umpire and had the opportunity to travel for Provincial, National and Canada Winter Game events as well as the 2000 World Vets in Vancouver. His last vacation was Burin Bay, N.L., home of his grandparents and cherished the time spent there. His last professional work was in Yellowknife, where he enjoyed the challenges of working in the North and especially time spent with his brother Rick and sister-in-law Het. He is extremely proud of his children and was grateful to be able to walk his daughter down the aisle in May. The family canoeing trips, camping and traveling all of Canada was special.

Bruce passed away peacefully with his family by his side on August 10, 2009, in the VG Site, QEII. Leaving to mourn are his wife of 30 years, the former Janet Cook; daughter, Beth (Branden) Leightizer, Dartmouth; sons, Ben, Ottawa; William, Dartmouth; mother, Sybe (Pentz) Moulton, Halifax; brothers, Rick (Harriet), Yellowknife, N.W.T.; Scott (Joy), Andrew; sisters, Judy (David) MacLean, Joanne MacNeil, Jane (Alan) Clifford; aunt, Carol Von Syberg, all of Halifax; eight nieces and nephews.
