    Our family is grieving the loss of our friend Peter Bruno. Peter produced a tribute video to Kevin Cross, our brother, son, and inspiration. Kevin passed away after a long battle with cancer on April 17, 2008. Peter "burned the midnight oil" to deliver this very moving video on short notice. This masterpiece video can be see at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLhvgqThJ0&feature=user I feel privileged to have talked to Peter numerous times during this period of time. He was a true professional and a fellow US Navy veteran. Our prayers and deep felt sorrow go out to Peter's family and friends during this difficult time. Sail on my friend. Explore. Dream. Discover.

    My deepest sympathies to Peter's family and friends. Though we started out on a business basis, Peter was quickly becoming a close friend. I just returned from overseas and learned today of Peter's passing. Thank you Mario for sharing what happened -- knowing the details helped somewhat in coming to terms with this sudden and tragic loss. Best wishes to all in the days ahead. r/ R. Pineiro

    I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to you, Peter's family. Peter had covered several video jobs for my company when we were overbooked. It was always a delightful relationship. Not only will we miss his expertise and knowledge, but we will sincerely miss his sense of humor. If I can ever be of help to you in any way, please do not hesitate to call on me. Best wishes to you as you deal with this most difficult time in your life -- Linda Lynn Tripp Carolina Court Reporters, Inc. 252-355-4700

    I Was never stationed with Peter, but recently met him via our website and numerous e-mails about his discussion concerning an upcoming trip to PT. Sur CA, I felt I made a friend and send condolences to his family. I am sure he was a good man and it is my loss having never met him in person. Hal Cook, OTACS, USN retired

    I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the family of Pet Bruno. It was a shock to open the paper this morning and discover he had passed away. Pete did the video for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah three years ago. He was a wonderful man whom I truly enjoyed working with. He also was a great talent. I am so sorry for your loss.
