He was an avid fan of the NY Yankees and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He was predeceased in death by his grandson Jesse. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years Grace, his daughter Kimberly (Maureen), son Michael Scott (Shannon) and two grandsons, Dylan and JackMichael who were the pride and joy of his life.

Trying to capture the essence of Mike Bruno is nearly impossible. I´ve made several attempts after learning of his passing and realized that my words would never fully describe a man who was so devoted to his partner of 59 years as well his children and grandchildren. A successful businessman who had a deep sense of community by volunteering as a firefighter, rising to chief, and donating his time to many community organizations. He loved to laugh and had a familiar humor, which I enjoyed. His family, friends and the world have lost a truly good man. Requiescat in pace, Mike.

WE Love you, Mike! You were the best plumber that we ever had! No one now is able to replace you! You were caring, considerate, kind and meticulous about your work and your excellent service! Throughout the 30 years as we have come to know you and your fabulous wife, Grace, we have grown as friends too and that's the best part of knowing you. Bob and I send our dearest and deepest sympathy to your wonderful wife and family. You are truly missed-but now Grace has her own angel!
