FLORENCE—Bruner, Jon Robert (Bob, 83, beloved dad, former farmer and owner-operator of an earth-moving construction company, passed away on January 9, 2020.  

He was preceded in death by the mother of his children, Ellen (Colleen) Bruner, by his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Bruner, and by his parents, Harriet and Dan Bruner.
