Bruno graduated from New York University , College of Engineering in 1954 with a degree of Bachelor of Civil Engineering . H e obtained Office r's rank in the Army through the R.O.T.C. program.
Following his military career , he worked for TAMS Consulting Firm in downtown New York City for five years , prior to obtaining employment as a Civil Engineer with the Naval Weapons Center at China Lake, California, where he enjoyed a rewarding career for more than 30 years. Early in his Civil Engineering career, Bruno achieved his Professional Engineering License from the state of New York. During his military career he served at Fort Leonardwood, in Missouri, where he met the love of his life, Jean Lorett o Marley in 1955. A year later they were married at St. Bernard's Church in Blencoe, Iowa, where Jean gr ew up, and settled in Yonkers, New York. In 1961 they moved from Yonkers, New York, to Ridgecrest, California with the first three of their five daughters , where they were blessed by two more daughters.
Bruno was a thoug htful and romantic husband to his wife Jean. He was also a strong family man who was interested in his daughter s' successes in any of their endeavors. He was an active member of St. Ann's Catholic Church. He appreciated the outdoors, especially the ocean, and a favorite vacation pastime was to take the family to explore the local desert regions and localities. He loved music, and he and Jean delighted in attending local dances, initially square dancing, but later for many years they frequently enjoyed Big Band dances.
