Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to Drotha and the entire Bruno family. We often visited Dick for a chat while our daughter played for Doug. A faithful and delighful man. No one could replace him.We always want great men to live forever, but that is altogether impossible. You have another angel to watch over your family.

Mr. Bruno was such a nice guy! He was genuinely liked by all and easily attracted friendship. Reverent, honest, proud family man with a great sense of humor! I always enjoyed his stories and his wit. Sports were in his blood and his tactical experiences gave us an appreciated perspective. His love of DePaul basketball was deep and contagious.
And a Sox fan too!!!!!
Mostly though, he was a warm gentleman who made all the staff and residents at the Kenwood feel like family. I'll miss...
