Bruce Bennett Blanch

May 19, 2013Leave A Condolence

In Memorial

Bruce Bennett Blanch of Marietta, GA and Mortsdale, NSW Australia passed away in the early morning of May 19, 2013 at the age of 82 from an apparent heart attack.
Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Keith Bennett Blanch and Edna Beatrice Williams Blanch. He was born April 24, 1931 in Sydney, NSW Australia, graduated from the University of Sydney (with honors), and worked for many years for Munich Reinsurance Company.
He owned and ran Bruce Blanch Dance Studios in Sydney as a young man. He won awards for his dance talent, and always enjoyed watching television shows that featured dancing.
Bruce traveled the world for business and pleasure. His extensive Christmas card list attests to his ability to make and keep friends from all walks of life. He was generous to a fault, and will be sorely missed by the multitude of people who were lucky enough to know him.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

    A loving and generous spirit has passed, one that will be truly missed. As we listened to his traveling tells, we felt like we had been to all the places he visited. Even though he lived a full life, we always wish there was more time to spend with those that are taken too soon. Our thoughts will be of Bruce often.

    Brucie Baby, you were a friend like none other and you will surely be missed. You were a profound gentleman to the end, never saying an unkind word about anyone and generous to a lofty degree.
    Your perpetual summers came to an end way too soon and the annual trip to the mountains to get cool won&singleqoutest be the same; but we will still raise our glass of red wine and toast your memory, one we shall never forget. Until we meet again,
    Rest in peace.

    We will sorely miss hearing that wonderful Aussie accent, the great stories, and your smiling voice! So many of our conversations were over the phone, but we enjoyed our occasional visits when we were in Atlanta and of course the summer visit you made to Buffalo! We are planning to take Sydney to Sydney next Christmas, and are so very sad that the trip won&singleqoutest be the same without our good friend. We will miss you Bruce!

    This sent by e-mail from Angelika who lives in Berlin,Germany:
    Thanks so much for remembering me and sending the sad message. It seems so unreal, because in my mind I believed, Bruce would live forever. Of course that is unrealistic. I know all his best friends will miss him painfully and he never will be forgotten. I never will forget the time we spent with him and thank God I got to know him. I will miss the funny mails he sometimes sent. He should have had a longer life. But I think it is important to remember, that he had a good life, and he could leave the world without agony, pain and long suffering. Please give my deepest sympathy to all who loved him and please let me know the time of the memorial, because I would like to be with you in my thoughts. I will inform my sister Heike and mother Charlotte of his passing. I am sure they feel the same way. Please keep in touch.

    My Dear Bruce,
    I will miss you so much. You really were a person that counted in my life…We spent so many good time partying and chatting together even in French (you did well!!)when i used to live in Georgia. Tonight all these &qoutessouvenirs&qoutes are in my heart and will stay forever. Now, my mother will be welcoming you in her arms in heaven as you were so nice, helpful and generous to me.
    I am so proud that life made our paths crossing each other.

    With Love for ever,

    Your French friend,

    William

    My Father and my Sister will be praying for you as well.

    We will miss Bruce. He was a most gracious host and we hope he is enjoying Martini Time- because it is always 5:00 PM somewhere. Maybe he is even having a great conversation with my mother.

    Bruce was such a good friend to my late disabled mother in Atlanta. He visited her regularly and she was so appreciative. What a great guy he was. I so much appreciated his kindness.
