Dear Kyle, Didi and Jan (Matt and Tim),

Since our first days on Prospect, the Bruno Family has been a wonderful and important part of our lives. We have watched you grow into beautiful adults and you have seen our family grow. We will miss your Dad very much, his wonderful jokes and day old donuts or something he picked up at the Farmer's Market or on one of his trips and especially his many messages on our answering machine! He was so so proud of all of you...you are in our prayers.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Bob was a great person and a true friend to all who knew him. He'll be remembered in my prayers and masses.

Sincerely,

Pops will be missed, especially when I stop in there after work at 1:30 AM. Always had a story to tell and a smile on his face. My deepest sympathies to your family.

to Kyle, Mary, Janice & Tim:

Everyone loved your father. He was so much fun and so smart and could talk about anything. We enjoyed his one liners and our kids are often repeating them and mentioning Bob when they do. He was a great Dad. You are so lucky.

Love, Del and Nancy Zimmerman
