Pasquale Salvatore Bruno

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, husband and nonno, Pasquale Salvatore. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Pietrina, of sixty years; his children Angelo (Carol), Antonino (Doreen), Rose, and Maria Giovanna (Silvano); seven grandchildren Trina (Brent), Pat (Kara), Adam, Andrew, Melissa (Brad), Sarah (Eric) and Christina; three great grandchildren Jake, Elizabeth, and Jace; and many nieces and nephews and relatives in Italy and Brazil.

Pasquale is predeceased by his dad Angelo Bruno; mother Rosina Bruno (nee Vella); brothers Alfonso Bruno, Giuseppe Bruno; sisters Giuseppina Ciulla (Bruno) and Alfonsa Maria Giacomazza (Bruno).

His joy in life was his family and friends. He was a loving man with a big heart, who was generous and selfless to all he met. Pasquale loved the outdoors, hunting and going for rides in the bush----this to him was PEACE on earth. He enjoyed life and he was always a hardworking man who wanted the best for his family.

Many thanks for the support and care of our dad, husband and nonno, to the wonderful staff at the home and community care; Bayshore staff and palliative nurses from the palliative care program, you guys are special.
