Mark C. Bruneau Jr.

HURLEY, Wis. — A memorial service for Mark C. Bruneau Jr. will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Hurley, at 10 a.m., on Saturday, Oct. 15, with Father Frank Kordek officiating. Interment will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Hurley with a luncheon following at the Elk and Hound Restaurant in Ironwood.

Mark loved his family above all else, but his other loves were fishing and antique hunting. As a youth, he fished many streams around the Hurley area, sometimes walking miles along areas where fish seemed unlikely. His family knew a drive usually involved a stop or two at garage and estate sales looking for special books or old fishing lures.

Mark was 72 when he lost his battle with kidney disease on Jan. 2, 2015, in St. Charles, Mo. In his memory, donations are suggested to the American Kidney Fund at kidneyfund.org.
