Bruno A. Curatola, 96, of Saratoga Springs, NY, passed away on Monday, February 8, 2021 at Saratoga Hospital, Saratoga Springs, NY. Bruno lived in Edison with his wife, Roselene, from 1964 until her passing in 2013. He continued to live in his home until the fall 2018 when he moved to upstate NY. He was most recently a resident at The Home of the Good Shepherd, an assisted living facility in Saratoga Springs, NY.

As a child, his entire family played music together! Bruno played the Mandolin. In 1942, Bruno volunteered to serve his country in the United States Marines as a Tail gunner / Navigator / Bombardier. He was in action in the Pacific in SBD's, TBF's and B-24's in the Solomon Islands, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and others. Bruno had fond memories of Shirley Temple teaching him how to dance at a USO dance (Betty Davis was her chaperon), and meeting his first pit bull which belonged to Pappy Boyington! Following his time in the Marines, Bruno earned his Associates Degree from Bethlehem Business College, and was a Cost Accountant for Worthington Pump Corporation, Harrison NJ from 1963 to 1991.

He loved to go dancing with his wife, Roselene, as well as swimming and diving. He enjoyed hunting well into his retirement years. He loved eating out, especially Calamari, cooked just right! Most of all, he loved and was very proud of his children and grandchildren.
