Bruce Loudon 1933 - 2022 Rest in Peace
The godfather of Warringah Cricket Club sadly but peacefully passed away on Sunday.
“Brucey” was, along with Frank Gray, one of the founding fathers of our great club. This will no doubt come as sad news for anyone who has don the green, met Bruce or had any experience of him in any of his communities.
Brucey was a warm, compassionate and community minded man, described as the “beating heart” of the many communities he contributed so heavily to - from Warringah Cricket to Surf Life Saving, from the Freshwater Uniting Church to the National Serviceman’s Association - his dedication and love for these communities, the work they do and the people in them was unending.
Brucey was a character, had an awesome sense of humour, a stalwart and had one of the purest souls we had the privilege of being graced with.
For these reasons and more, anyone who has had a conversation with him will no doubt have a heart-warming and funny story to share about him.
Brucey will absolutely be missed by everyone, especially by us here at Warringah Cricket Club.
Our sincere condolences to his family for their loss, but we live in hope that you are strengthened by the immense legacy he leaves behind - one of nobility, character and selflessness here with the Men In Green and beyond.
Thanks for everything Brucey.
