There, Bruno was baptized by his brother, attended Bible school for 2 years, and worked on the farm. He married Elizabeth on Jan. 24, 1958 and in 1967 immigrated to Canada. Bruno's kind and gentle nature was an inspiration to everyone. He is mourned by Elizabeth; children Esther (Bert), Ruth (Jim), Leona (Gord), Arnold, John (Amanda); 14 grandchildren; 3 siblings.
