He was preceded in death by his parents, Bruno and Grace Procopio, sisters Theresa Everitt, Rose Vitali, and Grace Gentile, and his brother Joseph Procopio.

Bruno was a lifetime adventurer and always planning his next vacation. He visited 28 countries and 46 states throughout his lifetime. He was the life of the party with his wonderful sense of humor and endless entertaining jokes. This world has lost a true gentleman and the ultimate dance partner.
