While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.  ~John Taylor

Our end, which is endless, is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air.  ~Buddhist Saying

Bruce Magill  Havelock, Ontario 

Born: Toronto, ON October 13, 1933 -  Havelock, ON August 7, 2006 

Dowser and Human Being Extraordinaire 
One of the best and most dedicated dowsers and dowsing teachers on the planet and a friend to many.
 
A man of integrity, compassion, and who had a zest for life.  He could be a real jokester and many of us shared many moments laughing with him. As a Dowser he forged many paths for us to explore, helped many with issues in their homes, with physical ailments and pain, helped companies find locations for their wells and was well known as The Ghost Buster.
