Bob worked in research and development for Associated Enterprises/Meritec for over 35 years.  He enjoyed tinkering in the garage with his impressive tool collection, fixing anything – even if it wasn't broken, taking road trips to Pennsylvania and traveling – most recently to Hawaii, and cooking.

Bob is survived by his wife, Elisabeth 'Liz" (Norton) Zamule-Bruner; son, Brent (Bobbi) Bruner; step-daughter, Stephanie (Emilio) Battaglini; brothers, Ed Bruner, Jake (Jackie) Bruner and Raymond (Kim) Bruner; sister, Rita Davidson; grandchildren, Robert "Bobby" Bruner, Gianna Battaglini and Evelyn Zamule.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Ronald Bruner; sisters, Luave Darlene, Margaret Anna "Peggy" Becker, Mary Biesel and Alverda "Birdie" Costanzo McGuire; son, Robert W Bruner and step-son, David Zamule.

A Celebration of Bob's life will take place at a later date in Ohio and Pennsylvania.  Bob will be laid to rest at Riverview Cemetery in Apollo, Pennsylvania.
