My Dear uncle Bruno
May you rest in peace and be together with my parents and the rest of your family.
I will always have great memories of Sunday lunches at my parents house where you would always sit next to my father and across from my mother. There would be lots of talking, eating and constant discussions of the taste of my father’s home made wine. My father would always say it tastes “beautiful” and Zio Bruno would always say “not bad” lol. Then the argument would begin about the acidity of the wine and it would end up the two of them telling each other they were crazy… lol
May you rest now in the eternal glory of God and in heaven
Your niece
Diana
Dear Zio Bruno’
We will cherish the shared memories around the kitchen table at our mom and dad‘s (in-laws) and the things that made you uniquely you. Many laughs around that table for sure, though it saddens us that you are no longer with us. We find comfort in our memories. You will be missed, but never forgotten. May you rest in peace.
With love, Dom and Rose Dangelo
Dearest Zio Bruno,
Words cannot describe the loss we feel, but we are comforted by our many happy memories of your humour, wit, strength and sweetness. You will be loved and missed forever.
Debora and Jack
