Eugene "Gene" Joseph Bruno

( memories are one gift of God that death can not destroy ) we will always remember Gene the candy man

I worked at Friar Tuck bookstore at the old Pyramid mall- I would make lots of trips to Jo Anns for milk chocolate chunk!! Also visited the new sore on occasion for just one chocolate covered Oreo.. Gene was a fixture in my young adulthood, learning of his passing brought back a lot of pleasant memories. Praying for his family

Sorry for your loss. He was a great person and a very loving man. He was great with everyone.

I am so sad to hear this news. It caught me completely off guard. I never got to actually meet him in person but I sure did get to know him over the phone. We had a working relationship helping with Joann's Candy House. We came to know each other as 'my and your favorite client'. He loved his business and his family and was an absolute joy to talk with over the phone. See you in Heaven Gene :)

I was so saddened to hear about Gene´s passing. He was a truly genuine person and loved his family and friends . He lit up a room with his personality and positive energy. RIP Gene , you were such a joy to know ! Carole Schiraldi

My thoughts and prayers are with April and family. Gene will definitely be missed. He was a wonderful and caring man. Was a great pleasure to have known him.

It was truly heartbreaking to hear of Gene's passing. I have been a customer for many years and I will never forget his additional kindness when he heard of my sister's passing. He and I enjoyed trading stories of disco music, dancing and clubs (when the store had a lull). He was one of the kindest people I knew, with such a big heart. He will be sorely missed. To his family and loved ones: cherish your memories and know that we grieve with you. Gene was one of the best. Sincerely, Rita Debnam

I saw Gene on Sunday afternoon at Ali´s Send Off to College. He stopped over to wish His best and it meant so much to Ali and Her Family. I had only met Gene once as I was visiting my Grandchildren who continue to be neighbors if April. I was walking my dog with a few of my Grandchildren and We came upon Gene and Stanley. My Grandchildren told Me what a nice, funny man He was and how They lived Stanley. Gene was so sweet and cheerful, I could see how They were fond of Him. To have just...
