He is also survived by 6 grandchildren, Trenton Bruns, Ben Fisher-Bruns, Elizabeth Fisher-Bruns, Danny Fisher-Bruns, Amber Ramey and Andrew Loveless. Robert was preceded in death by his first wife Greta Franck Bruns who died on June 11, 1988. He was in the Army eight years, serving in both 2nd World War and Korean War. Previously from Aurora, IL, he was a butcher at National Tea Company for 25 years and is also retired from West Aurora School District. He was an avid reader on numerous topics, had a good sense of humor, and was a good friend to all who knew him.
