BRUNO CONZELMANN

July 31, 1937 - December 17, 2024 As a result of complications from Parkinson's disease, Bruno passed away peacefully, on the morning of December 17th, with his loving family by his side. He is greatly missed by his wife of 65 years, Britta. Also feeling the huge loss are his sons, Bruce (Debbi) and Roger (Helen). Opa was an amazing grandfather to Chris (Cheryl), Scott (Erica), Jeff, and Nicole (Griffin). He was delighted by the addition of great-grandchildren, Colton, Olivia, Carter and Mathew, to the family. Bruno was born in Tailfingen, Germany, on July 31, 1937. He immigrated to Canada at 20 years of age with what he could carry in one suitcase. Having earned his machinist papers in Germany, he continued his career here in Canada. He met Britta in English classes in Toronto and very soon after they were married. In 1971, Bruno and Britta began their own machine shop with one Bridgeport milling machine in the garage of their Pottageville home. Through their unbelievable work ethic, the support of many wonderful employees, and a culture based on mutual trust and respect, B.C. Instruments Inc. grew to be a very successful global business. Together they enjoyed many wonderful years in their home in Pottageville, where Bruno tended the most beautiful gardens. They retired to the Briar Hill Community in Alliston, where they made many new friends. And finally, they moved to Delmanor in Aurora, where they settled very comfortably. Bruno and Britta enjoyed walking every day and had a long-standing game of Rummikub on the go. In his last moments, Bruno struggled to find the words, but said, "There are no better words than thank you for the years of friendship and support." Cremation has taken place. Arrangements are entrusted to Rod Abrams Funeral Home, Tottenham. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
