Bruce was my brother-in-law and, of course, knew he was a great person. He made my sister very happy. He was a fighter and went through his ordeal with dignity and hope. Not many of us could have done that. He will always be remembered by us.

Bruce showed me you can really be it all... a real man’s man, tough and Army strong! Always strong minded and willed, some could even say a bit stubborn. But I also saw the other side with so much heart and compassion for others, always wanting and seeing the best in everybody. I always looked forward to our working lunch where I would walk away with so much wisdom and life experience Bruce shared. And I’m a better person today because off that today. I’m truly grateful to Bruce and Linda for all the love and support that gave me.

Bruce will always be in our thoughts at Century 21 Liberty Homes and I have crossed paths with many Realtors®, Mortgage Brokers and Loan Officers who constantly remind me why Bruce was remembered. He was one in a million (and still is!) of those in our industry who got out and down to offices to spread his warmth in personality and knowledge of loan programs. 

And you my friend... will be strongly remembered by all... for your endurance and never ending love of your husband until his parting.  Mahalo and Aloha for all you have given me... and many others. 

Thanks Linda....

Bruce A. Bourgault was my mentor.  I met Bruce just as I was entering into the real estate profession and Bruce took me under his wing to teach me about VA Loans.  For that alone, I have become one of the top VA Real Estate Specialists on the island of Oahu.  I truly owe it all to Bruce who ALWAYS had time for my questions.  It didn’t matter to him if I was asking questions for a client that was using him to do the mortgage or not.  Bruce would always take the time to help.

We shared a common battle stomping ground as well. Bruce commanded the 2nd Battalion, 11th Field Artillery Regiment during his service in Vietnam.  The battalion was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks Hawaii which is the same battalion that I retired from in 2005.  Bruce and I enjoyed a few conversations about Soldiers and Field Artillery which was an enjoyment for me.

He is truly missed and often thought of by me in my day to day operations.
