Bruno had an impact on many of us here who were fortunate enough to have benefited in some way from his selfless and patient mentoring. Bruno spent many, many hours (just look at his post count of 37,900+... still a standing SNF record) here at Scot's helping anyone who had a question or needed assistance in some way. If Bruno didn't know something, he'd spend time researching so that he could come back and provide an answer.
I was able to correspond with Bruno every night of the last two months of his life via emails. We were bouncing them back and forth so rapidly, it almost seemed like Chat rather than email. He was trying his best to pass along as much info as he could about SNF and its members to me so that we could continue to carry on in this community following his example. I was honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to spend so much time with Bruno during those waning days of his life.
I was amazed at his collection of knowledge regarding members here. He had kept notes with members' real first names, their favorite OS's, their hardware, etc. He even had notes about what their particular weaknesses were, like needing to recover their GRUB boot loader every other week or so.
Bruno was very conscientious about all his "students". No. He wasn't rich or famous or on TV every other night. He wasn't a sports superstar, etc. However, in his own way, he had an effect on every one of us who had the good fortune to have known him.Don't regret his absence. He's still here at Scot's everyday. Just look around. You won't have to look far before you run across...
Please join us here at Scot's today in a celebration of Bruno's life. Speak your piece. Tell us your Bruno stories. All comments are welcome.
Have a wonderful day!
