They relocated eventually to Chatham, then to Wallaceburg, where they raised three children, Heidi (Pat) McCarron, Christopher (Deborah) Hochheimer, and Andrew (Angela) Hochheimer.

In his lifetime, Bruno achieved so much. A talented carpenter, he turned his woodworking hobby into a retirement business. He loved fishing and camping and is the only person to ever canoe from north to south, and east to west, through Algonquin Park, solo. He loved SCUBA diving, and spent time underwater in Belize, Cuba and the Great Lakes. Along with his wife Marie and his children, he is survived by 10 grandchildren, three great grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, four sisters, two brothers, and many nieces and nephews.
