Bruno Travalja Obituary
Bruno, 52, of Ridgewood passed away September 15, 2016. Beloved husband of Alexis. Loving father to Taylor, Luca, and Aidan. Adoring son to Mirela. Bruno is prede-ceased by his father John. Bruno's greatest hobby was his work, his children and wife were everything but work was a very close second. He was loyal and trusting to a fault. Simply the most honest human being. He will be greatly missed by his in laws Idio and Mila Ilijasic, all his family in Canada that is too big to name. His huge extended family in Queens and his dearest closest friends that are our family and the Crowne Architectural family that was his life. Visiting hours will be Tuesday from 6-9PM at the Feeney Funeral Home, 232 Franklin Ave, Ridgewood. Funeral mass will be held Wednesday at St Luke's RC Church at 10AM in Ho-Ho-Kus.
In lieu of flowers donations to Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation 383 Main Avenue, 5th Floor Norwalk, CT 06851 to honor his dear friend Michael Purritano would be appreciated.

When I read "Bruno" i hoped it was not the Bruno I got to know over many years. We did many projects together, and finished one a couple of weeks ago, of course on a Sunday as it had to be done. He was there for us, a wonderful person.
Our sincere condolences to all his family

I was horrified when Bruno's name leapt out at me from the story of his death. I worked with him on a project about 8 years ago and always hoped to have the pleasure of working with him again. He was a consummate professional and his passing is a loss not only to his family, not only to the construction community, but to all humanity.

Words fail to express how deeply this fine, funny, brilliant and generous man will be missed. You are with the angels now. Forever my friend.
