Bruce Geldard 12 October 1933 – 12 June 2014
It was only a year ago that there was an article in this Newsletter congratulating Bruce Geldard for his selection in the New Zealand 80+ team that played in Austria in September 2013, an event in which he performed creditably. We were deeply saddened to hear this year that Bruce had passed away after a brief illness. We would like to acknowledge Bruce’s contribution to TSWBOP and to the wider Tennis Seniors community.
Bruce played tennis in his late teens for 2 or 3 years but did not play again until he was reintroduced to it by his partner, Dawn, at the age of 60. He regularly played in tournaments and the Easter teams’ event. Bruce belonged to Homewood Park Club, and the highlight of his week for the last thirteen years was to travel to Tauranga to play with Tennis Seniors WBOP. He will be sadly missed.
