He was also a dedicated member of the Guild Athletic Club and devoted to St. John the Baptist Church, lending his support whenever needed.

Dear Mary, Bruna, Ria and Anthony,
I want to thank you collectively from the community around Columbus for sharing your husband and father with us. I can understand how you could have always wanted him to spend his extra time with you but he had an uncanny way of showing up in my life just at the right time. Maybe a little persuasive nudge in the right direction or a pat on the back of appreciation of a job well done.
As each of us travel through life, we come across a few extraordinary people that leave a positive influence in our lives and lives by example in the way we see others, treat others, respect others, help others and believe in others.
Bruno was one of those people that has certainly touched me in that way and more. I know in my heart, he shared his gift with thousands but every time we spent together (maybe meeting for breakfast at one of his favorite diners) he made me feel special.
I know there is nothing that can be said or done to mend the hole in your heart but know Bruno is alive and well every time each of us reaches out to help another as he did to us.
With love and grace, Pat and Jane French
