Michael R. "Pops" Bruno, Born September 6, 1940, At Rest December 23, 2020; beloved husband of 59 years to the late Carol; cherished father of Jim, Michelle (Mark) Wilson and Joseph; loving brother, uncle and friend to many. Mike was one of seven boys growing up and truly embodied the importance of family. His joys in life were opera, movies, and good food. Mike loved, more than anything, his wife and children. He was referred to by many as "Pops" and those who knew him loved his hugs. He was the greatest husband and father who worked hard to support his family. Mike's marriage of nearly 60 years to his late wife, Carol, is the greatest example of love which only grew stronger, as the years went on. He was affectionate, kind, and loyal. His children couldn't be more grateful to have called him "our dad." He will forever live on in our hearts.
