October 21, 1946 – August 13, 2016

Cameron “Cam” James Bryce passed away peacefully with loved ones by his side after a brief battle with cancer.  He is remembered by his daughters, Kimberly (Jason Aebig) of Saskatoon and Kerry (Geoffrey) Trofimuk of Regina; grandsons Henry and William Aebig of Saskatoon, and Benjamin and Jack Trofimuk of Regina; sister-in-law Patricia Grimard of Prince Albert; nieces, Wendy Grimard, Sharon (Roger) Halbgewachs, and Tiana Halbgewachs; nephew, Reece Halbgewachs of Sherwood Park, AB; birth mother Norma Fraser; half-sister Nadene Fraser and half-brother Darcy Fraser of Kamloops, BC; half-brother Joe Fraser of Creston, BC; his companion, Judy Cass of Red Deer, AB, and his extended family.  He was predeceased by his wife Sharon; mother and father, Edith and James Bryce; mother and father-in-law, Simone and Harry (Pat) Boyd; and brothers-in-law, Harry and Lorne Boyd and Roger Grimard.  Cam was born in Saskatoon, SK and spent his childhood years living in Melville, SK.  He returned to Saskatoon in 1963 where he finished his schooling at Walter Murray Collegiate.  In 1965, Cam began a 36 year career working for the Canadian National Railway.  He obtained his locomotive engineer’s license in 1977 and spent the following years hauling freight from Prince Albert, Humboldt and North Battleford before his retirement in 2001.  In 1972 he married Sharon (nee Boyd) and grew his family in Prince Albert, SK where he lived until 2009.  Cam enjoyed spending time camping and fishing on family trips to the lake and later, getting away to the cabin at Candle Lake, SK.  He was an enthusiastic Saskatchewan Roughriders fan and was a frequent shopper at the Rider Store.  As an extension of his career, he had a passion for trains; he would often cajole his daughters into counting the cars on trains encountered during road trips and camping excursions.  In recent years, Cam moved to Red Deer, AB and spent his winters in Yuma, AZ where he soaked up the sun and met many good friends.  He could often be found on the golf course or quadding in the desert.  Cam will be remembered for his sense of humour, his Rider Pride, and his enjoyment of a cold rum and Coke on the deck in the summertime.  Cam’s loved ones would like to thank the staff at the Red Deer Regional Hospital for their care and compassion during his last days.  At Cam’s request, there will be no memorial service.  A private interment will follow at a later date.  In lieu of other tributes, memorial donations can be made in Cam’s name to the Salvation Army.  Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca
