Anthony Fisher Bruns ’57

Body

Tony died of a massive heart attack Dec. 29, 2004. A Fort Myers, Fla., resident, he was visiting his daughter in Scottsdale when he died.

Tony majored in architecture and was a member of Cannon Club. A gifted musician, he was often on the piano at Cannon after dinner. At 6' 5", uncommonly handsome, and cheerful, he was a beloved classmate. In the years after graduation, Tony lived at 333 West 57th St. in New York City, the nefarious apartment that housed several classmates.

Tony served in the Air Force and then moved to Florida, where he remained. For the last several years, Tony had been a caregiver to his wife, Pat, who died in June 2004. Always an optimist, he anticipated a return to normalcy after his wife's death. In October, Tony purchased a piano to resume playing but it was not to be. The class extends its sympathy to his children Allyson, Christopher, and Kevin, and two grandchildren. We miss Tony deeply.
