A tribute to a special friend Sergeant Bruce Magee
The generosity of ones wisdom, is a statement of kindness, never surpassed in the history of time. When one of patience and understanding, pauses to advise and direct young people, and point them in the right direction, its a true sign of humility and caring. Over the years this man has nurtured the careers of hundreds of young Police Officers, at the Goulburn Police Academy, and on behalf of these Police Officers, serving and retired, we say thank you for your interest, for your patience, and your guidance and your friendship and your knowledge; and for just being the man you are. Yes Bruce Magee, you have made a difference in the lives of many of these young Trainees at the Academy, always encouraging them daily to reach beyond their goals, and to strive to be respected, and to be a competent Police Officer, within your community. I thank you Sir, and salute you for your fine Service.

Bruce was a lecturer at the academy when I went through in 87 and he later transferred to Bathurst where I was stationed. He was a good bloke and always assisted the young ones. RIP Sge. I enjoyed your war stories.
Classmate of mine. Received a phone call this morning to the effect he had Leukaemia and had lapsed into a coma. Happy go lucky guy, great company. All the richer for having known him. Rest in Peace Bruce. Condolences to family. John Crowley
