Our sincerest sympathy to the Bruno family. Dr. Bruno was a long time faculty leader in the Department of Elementary Education at Buffalo State College (now University). His work in preparing many new generations of teachers and school leaders was foundational and inspirational for many of his colleagues and those of us who carry on his legacy.

John and I were colleagues at Buffalo State. He was always cheerful and helpful in his dealings with his students and his colleagues. He made the then college and now university a better place. No doubt he now walks with God.
