Bruno was a talented musician and was fluent in four languages. He came to the United States as a musician and later became a successful business owner of Bruno's Repair of VW & Audi. He was extremely determined and succeeded in any passion he pursued. His main hobby was racing cars. Bruno was a fierce competitor which gained him the title "North American Pro Rally Champion." He loved speed and it was quite apparent in his snow-skiing and water-skiing abilities until the age of 88! 

Bruno taught his daughters to follow their hearts and pursue their passions in life, regardless of obstacles. His legacy lives on in his family forever! He was a role model and mentor to many, including his grandchildren. He always had a smile on his face while telling them stories and sharing his knowledge.
