Fr. Paul Fohlin, O.C.D. Remembrance
Taken from Carmel Clarion - Summer 2002
Fr. Bruno died on Sunday night, July 21st at 9:45. "I was there with him along with a good friend of his and mine, Irene Caldwell of Framingham, MA. He was no longer able to eat when I got to see him on the 17th; he could not swallow on the 19th and began to struggle to clear his lungs of fluid; he struggled through Sunday, until I saw him around 6 PM. By that time he had lost all color in his face and was very tired; he made only slight efforts to catch his breath. By 9 PM he started to slow his breathing; at 9:44 he made only a few weak efforts to breath... We were happy that his struggle was over.
He had said many times - about people who had died recently - that they were lucky. So now, Bruno is the Lucky One. His wake at the Monastery on Wednesday and his Funeral Mass on Thursday were beautiful and well attended. He was buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery in West Newton, MA. May he rest in peace".
