JOHN B. "JACK" BRUDER Jr.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. The members of our CopNET family would like to thank John B. Bruder Jr. for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Jack will be broadcast to our 3,423 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family. His absence from our ranks will be deeply missed by the remaining members of Philadelphia's Finest who were fortunate to have served with him...

It was an honor to serve with Jack, as a fellow fire police officer. Both Jack, and his untiring service to the community will be missed. Rest in Peace, Brother.

Dear Bruder Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you deal with the loss of your father and pop-pop. May great memories fill your minds and hearts as you also celebrate his life.
Scott & Debbie Dorn & family

My sincere condolences on your loss! I believe that your husband, dad, and Poppop earned his wings and that he will watch over you. He raised a beautiful family!

Denise, Mrs. Bruder and Family:
My heart is broken for each of you who are suffering such a great loss in your lives. Keep remembering all the wonderful times you've shared together, the memories created with each of you and that "Pop-Pop" made with his grandchildren are the most precious today. Wrap those wonderful words of wisdom, advice, the voice and sound of his laughter, simple conversations, his helpful hands and heart, childhood memories, holidays and just plain days shared...

God has opened his arms to your husband, father, Pop-Pop. You have another angel to watch and smile down on you.
May God Bless you all,
Steve, Debbie and Matt Harter

Bob and family, my deepest condolences on your great loss.

To the entire Bruder family,
Over the past few days and over those to come, you have heard and will hear many words of comfort and many times "I am sorry". We empathize with your pain...we hope these words provide you comfort with Jack's passing:
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. You may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little,...

Bob & Ronnie:

You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss. Take one day at a time. Just remember that dad is a peace.
