He was a loving and devoted brother to Peggy Fallon and her husband Daniel of Lynnfield, Joseph A. Bruno of Everett, David C. Bruno and his wife Maribeth of Billerica, Janet Messina and her husband David of Byfield and Karen Quinteros and her husband Edward of Florida. Stephen also leaves behind his loving partner James Tringale, who was the love and light of his life. Stephen was also a loving and devoted uncle to many nieces and great nieces and had many cousins who adored him. He also leaves a vast community of friends and colleagues who valued his friendship and his presence in their lives.
Stephen was a very spiritual man who touched many lives with kindness and grace. He was a master stylist who worked on Newbury Street for many years. He spent the latter years of his career working in the film and entertainment industry. He was considered a connoisseur of his craft and was a mentor to many in the industry. Stephen enjoyed traveling and spending time on the beach, especially in Ogunquit and Provincetown.
One of the ways He showed his love for others was through his cooking. He loved preparing culinary masterpieces for friends and family, but he especially adored cooking for his loving partner James.
Stephen Bruno will be missed by all; he has touched so many lives. He brought happiness and laughter through his wonderful sense of humor. He loved being the life of the party and would command the dance floor! There is a void that has been created by the loss of our beloved Stephen. We will all miss him, but we will keep him alive in our hearts until we are all together again.
There will be a Celebration of Life in Stephen's honor at a later date.
