The citywide police radio broadcast an unusual call yesterday afternoon: "Services for Officer Bruno will be at 3:3 p.m. Saturday at National Funeral Home. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery." One officer commented, "There'll be so many policemen there they won't be able to get them all in the chapel." Patrolman Frank Bruno, Jr., 29, of 785 Looney, well-liked veteran of five years service with the Memphis Police Departmnt, was fatally shot at 1 a.m. yesterday at Ace Sundry Store at 639 McLemore while investigating a burglary. Tearful relatives gathered at Patrolman Bruno's neat upstairs apartment yesterday to offer sympathy to his stunned widow, Mrs. Frankie Sue Bruno. Mrs. Bruno married the popular officer 10 years ago, after his graduation from Humes High School. He became a patrolman in 1955. They have a son and daughter. "Frank always wanted to be a policeman," the young widow recalled yesterday, "even when he worked for his brother, George, at his grocery store in South Memphis. He was assigned to Car 25 two years ago, and had especially liked his work since he knew a lot of the people on his beat. Even though he was happy with his work, as he was when he left home at 10:30 Thursday night to go to work, he never discussed his job with me. He said he was afraid it might worry me." Mrs. Bruno said she wasn't partcularly worried Thursday night. Then, about 1:15 a.m. yesterday, came the call from police telling her to come to Methodist Hospital. Her husband died there at 1:30 a.m. of a bullet wound in his right side. Officer Bruno was a life-long Memphian. He was a member of a well-known North Memphis family that has lived in the section near Humes High School since his late mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Bruno, came to Memphis in 1906 from Calabria, Italy. His father, Frank Bruno Sr., has a shoe repair business at his home address of 741 Looney, next door to the home of his son, which the senior Mr. Bruno also owns. Officer Bruno was a Baptist. He was a member of the Tennessee Law Enforcement Officers Association and the Tennessee Peace Officers Association. His only hobby was riding his horse, Smokey, which he kept at the Fairgrounds stables. In addition to his wife and father he also leaves a son, Michael Francis Bruno, and a daughter, Mary Elizabeth Bruno, and five brothers. (Published in The Commercial Appeal 10-8-1960)
