The youngest child in any family has both good and bad to overcome. Bruce handled both and leaves quite a legacy for his short years. To his family, our sincerest condolences for such a great loss. We pray that Bruce is now in a place where there is no pain. We are all fortunate to have had him with us for the time that we did.

To Irene, Joe and Steven, It has been more than 40 years since I've seen you. I lived across the street from you on 19th Street (now Woodland Road) and I use to babysit for all three boys when I was in junior high school. My heart just broke when I read about Bruce. He was the livliest of the 3 for sure. So sad to see him leave you at such a young age. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and although it has been many years, I have not forgotten you. In Christian Love to you and the family - Janet Boley

Bruce Nenni, along with Mary Ellen Warren, Barbie Tomlinson, Rob Black and my self (Greg Nenni) are all the same age in the large Nenni clan. We made pacts throughout our youth to always be there for each other. Bruce's passing is the first of our generation that I can remember. I will always remember the fun we had in Huntington, thanks in part to Bruce. Fishing was a shared passion. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you. Greg Nenni Family

Ralph & Jane Warren and family want to send sincere condolences to his family and loved ones on Bruces pasting, we are deeply saddened on Bruces departure for the place we will all go. Bruce and the Warrens only met at reunions and visits when we were young staying with Uncle Johnny and Aunt Irene family. These were happy days for all. It seems like the Nenni bonds of the past are starting to fade away by our first generation pasting and now the second generation&&.. Our family prayers are with Bruce and his family.

I am visiting with my brother Mike in Florida so I won't be able to attend the services but Mike & I will always remember our cousin Bruce. He was always getting in trouble with our brother Greg. I remember when Bruce & Greg got caught smoking cigarettes by Uncle Johnny & our dad Rudy. They made Bruce & Greg smoke cigars until they got sick. I will miss Bruce very much.
