Chicopee – Bruno Michael Bak, 65, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2023 at Holyoke Medical Center. Born in Springfield to Bruno J. and Shirley Mae (Greenia) Bak, he was a lifelong Chicopee resident.

Bruno enjoyed listening to country music, especially at Indian Ranch in Webster, MA, where he and his wife Patricia spent many of their summer weekends at their trailer home. He and Patricia also were known for their love of cats, as they adopted many through the years.

He was predeceased by both of his parents and his sister, Kathy Ray.
Bruno was loved by all and will be remembered as a dedicated husband, brother, friend and employee.
