Dear Sylvia, I am so sorry to learn just this morning of Bruno's passing. I informed my sisters and brothers of your loss and they are all sending their condolences as well. Many memories are flashing through my mind way back to when the two of you met and then being a part of your wedding. Fifty years of sharing a life and raising a family together is amazing. He will be missed by many. I will certainly remember him as a kind and generous man. Thinking of you and hoping each day that passes will let in a little more sunshine.

The voice, the cadence, the gestures (so many of them!)…the joy and playfulness - oh, and the bottomless cache of “tips”. Bruno. He had a presence that can not and will not be forgotten. Sylvia, I’ve known you and Bruno as a pair since a past lifetime ago when we weren’t yet out of school, or our teens…and he always had that “magic”. One part of that -maybe one of the things that made him such a good life partner- was he knew when to be present and “all in” and when to take a back seat and observe, or just become invisible. Bruno understood, loved -and loved being with- people. Always charming, thoughtful and an inspiration to kindness, Bruno made me laugh. I’m better for having known him and so blessed to have been a friend. I’m deeply sorry for your sudden loss. My sincere condolences to you, Sylvia, and to your family Remembering Bruno will always bring a smile to me. It’s a wonderful gift he continues to bring.

The world would be a better place if people were as kind, loyal and loving as Bruno. He treated everyone he met with respect, assuming they were just like him. Bruno could chat up strangers with ease without being intrusive. He had a marvelous gift of the gab. He was a genuine people person, making lifelong friends who he cherished. He was proud of his Italian heritage. He was quirky too, needing to have a little of everything on every forkful. It was a pleasure in so many ways to be his sister-in-law and I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.

My family and I reflected on Bruno tonight. One thing was always mentioned. Respect for our family. Hockey memories, tournaments, casino stories at Windsor, hard working, family man, dedicated father, amazing host, but what we loved the most. Was he always kissed us on the cheek. Thank you on behalf on the MacLaren family for always supporting us and allowing us in your life.

~ Michael MacLaren

To the Pupulin Family, My thoughts are with you in these tough times. I remember the O.P days seeing Mr. Pupulin excited for the Volleyball/basketball games to cheer on Danielle and the team. He always would give me a smile or hello along the way without saying too much. I remember thinking how nice of a father/man he was. He knew I was into music and once went into his record collection and gave me some old reggae records. Which I still have! As a father now, thats some cool Dad points right there!!! Rest well.

~ Justin Currie

We are so saddened and shocked to hear of Bruno’s passing. Our deepest condolences to your family. You are in our thoughts.
