Joseph J. Bruno, beloved husband of the late Mary Jane (nee Desiderio), passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love and dedication to family and community. Joseph was a respected business owner in the Lovejoy community and dedicated 31 years of his career to the US Postal Service before retirement. He was also a US Army veteran.

Joseph was a devoted father to Kathleen Bruno, Joseph Bruno, Karen (Jeffrey) Doetterl, and Thomas (Denise) Bruno, and father to the late Cynthia (Peter) Tomaschko and the late Daniel Bruno. His greatest joy came from his role as loving grandfather to Jonathan (Lindsay) Kranz, Christopher (Jamie) Kranz, Katie (Brandon) Tout, Kayla (Stephen) Gospodarski, Lauren (Tyler) Lewandowski, Julianne Doetterl, Nicholas Bruno, Kristina Doetterl, Anthony Bruno, and Olivia Bruno. He was also a cherished great-grandfather to Tyler Kranz and Chloe Kranz.
Joseph was the dearest brother of the late Rose (Robert) Yavicoli and is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins who will miss his warmth and wisdom.
