Bruno Vassel III

I haven’t known Cari and Bruno very long. I enjoyed visiting with them and you could tell what a special couple they were. They always made me feel welcome and you knew they cared about you. I am sorry for the passing of Bruno. I hope to be able to spend time with Cari! Cari, you and your family are in my prayers. You have a wonderful family!💕

We had the best of times with Bruno and Cari. I learned valuable insights from you both and will remember you forever.

My deepest sympathy to Bruno's family and friends. I have very fond memories of spending time with your family when I was a young girl in New Jersey. Prayers for all who loved him.🙏🙏

What a kind, adventurous, wonderful man. He was our bishop in New Jersey and friend when we moved to Sandy, Utah. He was such a great example to me and my family. Love you, Bruno, and your whole family.

So very sorry for the loss of Bruno, cousin Cari and family. My husband Mike and I spent some time with Bruno and Cari at Martha’s Vineyard several years ago. He and Cari made sure we had a good time while there. Bruno was so kind and had a genuinely gentle spirit about him. He will be missed 🙏💔

Our condolences and love to Cari and family.
We served as missionaries in the Europe Area Office in the office next to Bruno and Cari. We quickly realized what a great couple they were and how much more enjoyable and spiritual our mission would be from time spent with them. They were our mentors and close friends.
We spent an incredible week at Martha's Vineyard together and Bruno was happier than we were when we went deep sea fishing and caught our first fish. We knew how much they dearly loved each other, the Lord and others.
Much love to you Bruno and Cari

Cari and Bruno had such a profound impact on my life with their example of service and love.

Dear Family of Bruno,

We are so sorry to hear that Bruno needed to leave. But we are sure he is strongly needed at the other side of the vail. We remember Bruno always as a great friend and missionary. We have met him first on our mission in Frankfurt. We loved all the devotionals and meetings we had. He has been service in praxis. Always caring, serving and always loving . We were lucky to be invited to Martha’s Vineyard on our honeymoon trip. That week has been never forgotten. He always questioned the missionaries about their service and teachings during the week. He did not only feed them with food but with knowledge.

So sorry for you. We are with you in thoughts and prayers.

Good bye Bruno until we meet again!

Served with Bruno and Carol in Frankfurt, GE in 2015-2016 at the Area Offices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We love them both, and are saddened at our loss, and send our condolences to Carol and family. What a great man!

You were so wonderful together!!I always enjoyed Bruno’s sense of humor.
I am so sorry!
Your friend

We met Bruno and Carrie on our mission to the Europe Area. They both became dear, dear friends. May the Lord bless and sustain you, Carrie during this difficult time.

I was heartbroken to learn of Bruno Sr passing, and I wanted to write to share how much he meant to me.

I had the privilege of working for Bruno Sr at iboats for many years, and I carry lessons from that time with me to this day. I will always remember him teaching me to the PROPER way to fly fish in the parking lot of our office building, that simple way he said hello in the mornings like you were the only person in the room or the time my wife and I had a small quiet dinner at his home. It was the small moments that will stay with me forever.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
Steven Denton

I went to high school in Brasil with Bruno. He was a good friend, loved to water ski and scuba dive. His parents and sister Beth were always kind and welcoming. Good bye to my friend.

Cari,
Thinking of you and your family at this time of loss. We know you will miss your dear husband greatly. He was a kind and good man who loved his family and loved fishing. We treasure the time we spent with you and Bruno in Edgar and Martha's Vineyard years and years ago along with Russell's and Connelly's. He wanted to catch a Blue so badly and spent hours fishing. He was a good sport when Joel and Lynn hung that paper mache shark from the tree! May God bless you, your children and grandchildren. Love, Sheila and Joel

Dear Cari and family,
Please accept my love and sympathy at the death of your beloved husband Bruno. I am thankful for the association we had with you two in the Jordan River Temple and as neighbors. I enjoyed visits with both of you through the years. I pray that the Lord will bless you and your family with peace and comfort. With much love,

Pat Bevan

My heart felt condolence goes out to Cari and to the rest of Brunno’s family. It was my sincere pleasure and honor to be able to meet and spend time with Brunno and Cari on our trips to Lauscha and Limbach, Germany, while researching our shared Greiner Family connections. I have so many fond memories with many photos to share. I hope I can share at least one photo here, taken at an overlook of the small glass-maker village of Lauscha, together with Rudi Greiner-Adam and his wife Sigrid, April 2014.

When we moved to Reunion Village in 2009, my husband Scott was recovering from a severe stroke completely paralyzed on his right side. He was in a wheel chair and could barely talk. At the time, Bruno was serving as a counsellor in the Jordan River Temple presidency. We wanted to serve there.
As Bruno was interviewing us, he noted that I had to translate almost every sentence my husband spoke. Honestly, I was not even sure I translated it right. Scott had entered the room dragging his right leg. Bruno wrote up the experience for us for our famiiy history.
He mentally went to the Lord asking where he could put us? He could tell we really wanted to serve but where could we even do anything??
The Lord told him to put us into the Baptistry where we joyously served for 7 years . It was here that my husband, Scott learned to speak again by giving the confirmation blessings as well as reading the Book of Mormon out loud every day for an hour.
Bruno and Cari are dear friends and we really missed them when they moved. We loved Bruno's love for Gnomes and how they decorated his house with everywhere, even hanging from the rafters, at Christmas time.
He also was able to help us with financial advice and was always ready to help in any capacity needed. I also loved reading with Cari once a week as we read, the Dear and Glorious Physician about St. Luke.
We know Bruno is diligently working to help the Lord's work on the other side, using his knowledge of many languages and blessing many different nationalities as he bears his testimony to them in their native tongue.
We look forward to a joyous reunion. Bruno and Cari have changed our lives and for the better and WE LOVE THEM!!

Cari
You and Bruno have been in my prayers since I first met you when I
married Pat. You were so gracious and friendly to me. I have fond memories of the times we visited at my house or yours or the very special times you invited us to Martha's Vineyard. Although we come from different faiths we worshiped the same God. I know he is pleased with you. I will keep praying for Cari and your family.
Love you guys
Ken

We were not able to attend the funeral because Lenore had surgery this week and could not leave our home. However, we watched it on Zoom and were very touched by the sweet and loving messages from the family. Bruno and Cari lived across the street from us in Pepperwood and were very special neighbors. We got close to them and love them. We also have the opportunity to visit Martha’s Vineyard with them and that was a very special experience. The Vassel family will always be dear to our hearts and we send our love and prayers at this difficult time. John and Lenore.
