To the family of Bennie Brucia. This may sound very strange but I have some questions to ask of you.
I was stationed in Germany about the same time as your father and there were three couples who rented a German home outside of Furth , Germany. We were assigned to the 8th Army Division.The one couple was Bennie Brucia and his wife and I can not remember her name, but think it was Pat. Bennie was from New York and was in construction. I do have some photos and the old Ben reminded me of the young Ben.
Anyway I am in the The Villages, Florida and saw the obit and my curiosity was aroused so I thought I would contact the family.
Did your father have Pat with him when he was in Germany?
Did he ever talk about the time in the service?
Was he assigned to the 8th Army Division?
Did he ever talk about all of us living in one house with a German family?
We were just a bunch of kids then, but I think the Ben I knew is the same one in the obit.
I am truly sorry for your loss and intruding into your grief.
