I still think about Bruno. His spirit was so kind and inclusive, so open to new ideas and brave in his presentation of art. What a lovely spirit. I send healing energy to all the family. xo Joan

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) e.e. cummings
love to you surma, theo, saskia and raphael. paula

Bruno was a fun and inspiring member of Salon CIEL, a salon of working artists that I started in 2000. He was a generous, open and loving man - blessed with a poet's soul - My condolences to the family - Joan Gelfand

Bruno and I worked together at San Francisco State and became fast friends. He invited me to meet Surma, her family, the kids. He was like a soul brother. Heartbroken that he is no longer here in physical form. Absolutely heartbroken. Love to all who loved him. Sharing your sorrow and grief.

So very sorry for your loss. Bruno was an inspiration to so many - an incredible mentor and friend.

were laughing

Dearest Surma, Thea, Saskia and Raphael,
I send my deepest condolences. Words fail to convey the immense sadness that we feel that we can not be with you. Bruno's passing will leave a dark spot in many lives but then again the memory of his love and inexhaustible passion will continue to set our own spirits glowing. We send you love and wishes for strength of heart.
