Peter M. Bruno, of Mahwah, New Jersey, passed away suddenly on September 4, 2025 at the age of 63.
Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, Peter formerly resided in Palisades Park, Ridgefield, Westwood and North Haledon, New Jersey. He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting. While attending Palisades Park High School and Fairleigh he worked for many years at Palisades Park Paint and Hardware in Palisades Park. After graduating from Fairleigh he worked for United Merchants in Teaneck and then moved to Konica in Fort Lee, now Konica-Minolta Business Solutions located in Mahwah, New Jersey where he was the Senior Tax Director. All told, he worked for Konica for 33 years.
He was an avid stamp and coin collector and loved trains of all kinds. In his youth he liked to go fishing with his friend, Carl. He loved to travel and particularly enjoyed visiting US National Parks, Colonial Williamsburg and, of course, Alaska, his favorite destination of all.
