Bruce Robert Pinkney

Passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 10, 2025, at the age of 90 years.

Son of the late Lealand and Mary Pinkney (née Stranahan).  Beloved husband of the late Evelyn Pinkney (née Martin).  Much loved father of Stan (Karen), Randy (Reta), and Sue (Darryl). Proud grandfather of Chad (Alix), Tarah, Matthew, and Tyler, and great-grandfather of Danny and Jake.  Dear brother of Joan and Marlene, and predeceased by brothers Lealand and Duncan.  He will be fondly remembered by nieces, nephews and extended family as well as the many friends he made throughout his life.

Bruce was born in Toronto and grew up in Orillia.  He later lived in St. Paul’s with his mother and stepfather before marrying Evelyn and settling in Stroud, where he spent many happy years.

He was a dedicated employee of G.E. in Barrie for 35 years and later continued working at Home Hardware in both Allandale and Alcona Beach.  A proud member of his community, Bruce was instrumental in the creation of the Stroud Curling Club, served as President of the Innisfil Optimist Club in Stroud, and was active in the Stroud Snowmobile Club.  An avid sportsman, he played fastball, softball, and hardball, and also enjoyed curling and bowling throughout his life.

Above all, Bruce was a devoted family man who loved connecting with others and sharing in life’s joys.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the team at Coleman Care Centre for their compassionate care and support, and a special thank you to Dr. Bruce McTurk for his ongoing kindness.
