Al Torrance & Upper Canada Musicians Association posted a condolence
Monday, August 22, 2016
On behalf of the UCMA and all of our members, we are truly sadden for the loss of one of our greatest members and a mentor to me and to many others that preceded me. Bruce was one of the best piano performers in our area. His music will live on in the memories of all that worked with him and those that sat in audiences over the years.
He dedicated many years of his life to the Upper Canada Musicians Association (aka Brockville Musicians Association) as a president and as a board member. He will always be remembered for his contribution to live music around the area and across Canada. Bruce always had something to share concerning the jazz music business in and around Brockville and was a wealth of knowledge of all things Jazz.
Our thoughts are with all of the family and we know in our hearts that he is playing his piano with all of the greats.

Condolences to the family in your loss.
Bruce and I were friends from BCIVS days. I have many fond memories of those times and of the early days of the Bruce Ker dance band. ( I played trumpet). Although our paths didn't cross often in later life, I always tried to see Bruce when I was going through Brockville., That gave us a chance to catch up and to remember past times.
I will continue to think of Bruce as a good friend and a fine musician.

Bruce was a wonderful guy and an outstanding musician! He was with me a few years ago at a jazz club in Toronto, sat in with the performing band and blew them away; he was that good! A real loss to our community.

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He was a good friend of Mom (Millie Power) and Dad (Bob Mepham). In fact as I am sure you know, they played in a trio together in their younger years. Bruce drove up to Dad's funeral 19 years ago in the middle of winter to PEI and that touched our hearts greatly. I also remember Bruce coming out to eat with us at a restaurant in Brockville when we went up to bury Grandma (Anne Power) and he sang and played the piano that night too. A real gentleman. Condolences from all of the Mepham family to yours.

Bruce was a gentleman and an outstanding pianist. I had the pleasure of playing with him on a few occasions. It is an honour to be a fellow member of the Music and Performing Arts Hall of Fame with such a musician. Bruce also clothed our band for several years from Ker's Men's Wear. My sincere condolences go out to the Ker family. He will be missed.
