    On Monday morning, I got a call from Bruno Jr. He told me his father had suffered a heart attack at home. 911 was called but he could not be saved. I am devastated. I just saw him this past Friday. He was feeling great and was his usual self. I will miss him forever, he was like a Dad to me. I have conveyed my deepest condolences to Stephanie and family.

    Oh my gosh. I talked to him @ the Nationals & had been hoping to visit him this past summer but didn't get to it. Feel very fortunate to have gotten to know him over the past couple years & having had the pleasure of visiting him in NY a couple years ago. He was posting on here as of a few days ago. He certainly lived a full life & will be greatly missed!

    Rest easy Bruno. I was just with him this summer.. Shortly after he had fallen. He was still spry- climbing into his rafters, moving things around the garage, revving the Buick..

    God speed sir.
