Good morning, we were saddened yesterday to learn of your father’s death. There are so many wonderful things to say about Bruno, and others more eloquent than I will offer well-deserved tributes in the coming days. For my part, though, I will always remember his kindness, willingness to help, honesty, and trustworthiness in whatever dealings we had. I could always depend on him for wise advice and genuine concern for the wellbeing of our School, faculty, and students. And of course his humor was most enjoyable. Lois and I will write to your mother in the next day or so, but I hope you will extend our sympathy to your family. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
