It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tom "Boomer" Bruno, of Seaside, CA, who left us peacefully on January 02, 2026.

A lifelong Peninsula residence, Tom was born on September 30, 1947 in Monterey CA to Neno and Pauline Bruno. Boomer loved his family above anything else, and touched the lives of manywith his warmth and kindness, always treating friends (old and new) as family - La famiglia è tutto - Family is everything.

Tom is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Terry; his children Thomas Jr. (Jillian); Jamie (Joseph) Bricca; and grandchildren Antonio and Lorenzo (Bruno); Dolores, Rose, and Rebecca (Bricca).

The family invites you to honor Tom's legacy privately, and celebrate his passing in your own ways, knowing that he will be with us all in spirit, through our laughter and loving memories.

"Say not in grief 'he is no more', but in thankfulness that he was".
