Family
Enrico Gerussi, who trained in Italy as a stonemason, was a coal miner working in the Lethbridge, Alberta area, as well as a musician. In 1927, he married Teresina and they moved to Medicine Hat where their eldest son, Bruno, was born. The family subsequently moved to Exshaw where Enrico worked as a sectionman on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Near Exshaw, according to Edna (Hill) Appleby, author of Canmore: The Story of An Era, there remains a stone bridge built by Mr. Gerussi.
Bruno Gerussi grew up in Exshaw and later moved with his family to New Westminster, British Columbia.
Both of Bruno's children went on to work in Film & Television. Bruno's daughter, Tina Gerussi, is a successful casting director in Toronto. Bruno's son, Rico Gerussi, is a 1st Assistant Director (as well as a lead guitarist/vocalist in R&B band The Raging Butanes) in Toronto.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It is turning three hundred years
On our cisatlantic shore
For family after family name.
We’ll make it three hundred more”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact ... the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
