Heartfelt condolensces to Joey, Jimmy, Mrs. B and sisters Patty and Pauline on your loss. Mr. B. was my favorite neighbor growing up on Burgess Ave. I spent a lot of time with the Brunos in the 70's being friends with Joe and Jim, and I will always remember that great laugh. He seemed more like an uncle than a neighbor, and I know I speak for my brothers about that as well. Peace.
