21/10/1945 - 2/1/2025. Passed away unexpectedly, with his daughters by his side, at Christchurch Hospital, aged 79 years. Bruce’s daughters and sons-in-law, Mardi and Patrick Fitzgibbon and Fleur and Bede Skinner, invite you join them to celebrate the life of an extraordinary father and ‘GreyGrey’ of Ella, Mac, Lachie, Elsie and Gene.

Perhaps you built tracks through New Zealand’s native bush with Bruce, went tramping together, or tracked the flight path of migratory birds around the world with him. Maybe you scaled cliffs and mountains together, or went on search and rescue missions alongside him. You may have been one of the many friends - old and new - that he liked to share a meal and a few yarns with. Whichever it was, lucky you.

Messages may be addressed to: The family of the late Bruce Postill, c/- PO Box 39001, Christchurch 8545. In lieu of flowers, donations to Forest and Bird would be appreciated and may be made directly online at: forestandbird.org.nz. 
The service to celebrate Bruce’s life will be held in the Oaklands Chapel, corner of Halswell Junction and Wigram Roads, Halswell, on Friday, January 10, at 2.30pm, followed by a private cremation.
