We were always close from 1965- Present
The fun times and many long conversations which included deep laughs that forced you to put the phone down so you could compose yourself. We just clicked. We had the same sense of humor and we always treasured our history together.
When I moved to Florida 30 years ago we lost contact visually but never lost contact by phone
In my opinion Bruce was a man who cared!
He loved his Sweetheart TR and his fantastic kids and grandkids. In our many conversations over our 56 year friendship he always had insight into people we’ve known over the years and never a bad word was mentioned
In closing I bow down to the courageous soul of Bruce Stephen Celotto who never complained once about his medical conditions. Plotter I salute you God Speed!!
Bruce, you will be missed so much! Thank you for being such a great friend to my dad and my family. I can’t wait for you and my dad to hang out again in Heaven. Love, Erin
I will always remember his keen sense of humor.
Words cannot wipe away your tears or ease your pain,
but your memories will stay with you forever.
With deepest sympathy-
Debbi and Jay Dunne
Margaret, Jessie and Justin, we are very saddened by Bruce's passing. We watched our children grow up together. Spent countless hours at meetings, at games, and whatever else that was going on in Haworth. At the Pharmacy he was always was the guy making everyone laugh. Bruce loved life and LIVED it. And he loved his family so very much.
Bruce was a trip!
There is a hole left here on earth. He will be missed.
Bruce- the mayor of Garfield st. You will be so missed.
We are so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing, our sincerest condolences.
