Bruno Norbert Reutemann, 74, of Ventura, CA, passed away on October 22, 2023 in Ventura, CA. He was born in Winterthur, Switzerland to Otto and Maria Reutemann on August 9, 1949. He attended Catholic parochial and high schools but graduated from Nordhoff High in 1967. He went on to earn an AA Degree from Ventura Junior College and attended Cal State Northridge with a major in Accounting. In his spare time, Bruno enjoyed outdoor activities like fishing, camping and motorcycling. As well as being an avid reader, he enjoyed tinkering with machines of all kinds and woodworking. His work consisted in tax preparation, as an independent contractor for Verizon distributing telephone books, working on offshore oil drilling platform Irene, as a caregiver, and as a day laborer for Mountainview Landscape Services.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura, CA, to which the family would like to extend their gratitude for the quality care he received there.

In keeping with his independent nature, Bruno lived his life fully on his own terms and ever-free. He faced life with friendliness, helpfulness and kindness to his family and all.
