With her new found family members, she was instrumental in organizing a Menz family reunion in Jeannette, Pa., where it all began.

BRUNS, Henry Dickson II "Harry," of Howardsville, Virginia, died peacefully in Charlottesville, Va. on September 23, 2010, comforted by family and friends. Bruns, as old and dear friends called him, was born a fifth generation New Orleanian in the autumn of 1926, to T.M. Logan Bruns, a prominent attorney, and Bland Cox Bruns. He often helped in the election campaigns of his mother, a Louisiana state legislator who cast that state's legislature's lone vote supporting the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Raised in New Orleans, he attended high school at Christ School in Arden, N.C., and spent a summer working for Higgins Industries in New Orleans building amphibious landing craft for WWII. Following graduation at age 17, Bruns enlisted in the United States Marine Corps but the war ended before he shipped out. Honorably discharged, he enrolled at the University of Virginia, where he received B.A. and M.A. degrees in economics, finishing in 1950. In 1950 he married Nancy Peyton du Pont and that same year reenlisted in the USMC, serving in the Korean Conflict. A masterful storyteller, his favorite about his military service relayed the erroneous announcement that appeared in his wife's home town newspaper - amusing to all except his mother-in-law - which stated, "Lt. Bruns has just returned to his wife from 11 months active duty in Korea in time for the birth of their first child." After briefly working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., his young family moved to Houston, Texas, where in 1955 their second child was born. There he began his career as an independent oil operator, exploring for and producing oil and natural gas in Central Texas for the U.S. market. After the end of his first marriage, he married Catherine Masterson Cage in 1969. In the late 1980s he moved to his farm on the James River in Virginia, where he pursued his many interests, especially canoeing, fishing and living close to nature. He remained devoted to his Alma mater and to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of "The University," giving both time and financial support to UVA and Monticello. He also created a fund to provide a Jefferson nickel to every member of each incoming class at UVA, as a reminder of their tie to Jefferson. He also served on the Board of Trustees of Christ School and was instrumental in helping the school resolve the financial troubles it was facing at the time. Throughout his life, he possessed an uncanny ability to bring people together through his persuasion, humor, and generosity, often initiating interesting friendships that otherwise would not have formed. Many people will remember him in many ways. He is survived by his son, Peter Bruns, daughter-in-law, Kathleen Rice, and grandson, George Bruns, of Greensboro, N.C.,; daughter V. Peyton Bruns of New Orleans and Washington, D.C.; stepson, Michael Masterson Bruns of St. Paul, Minn., and scores of cousins. The family expresses thanks to Dr. Jonathan Evans and the devoted cadre of care givers who were so very special in his last years. In lieu of flowers, any memorial considerations may be made to the Integrity Fund, established by him to honor his friend, Ernest Henry Ern, at UVA's College at Wise, Virginia (contact Mrs. Tami Ely at 276-376-1057). A memorial service will be held soon at Christ Church, Glendower, near Keene, Virginia. Friends may sign the guest book at www.hillandwood.com. |

He moved from the stockroom to branch manager, and in 1968 became director of marketing for Fruehauf International. The family moved to London where he was the company's liaison for overseas offices throughout the world. Ian Green, his good friend in the London office wrote, "I had the distinct privilege and pleasure to meet Kenny when he arrived in the UK. He was responsible for the coordination of various licensees and affiliates in England, France, Holland, Germany, Spain, South Africa and Japan. No mean task, as the European countries are not known for cooperating with each other, at least in those days. The history between the English and French - you could write a book. But this man was the epitome of calm, charm and efficiency with a gentle persuasive character who endeared himself to all." In 1970, Mr. Gentil returned home to become president of Overnite Transportation. During his 11-year tenure, the company had outstanding growth. The first phase of the corporation's headquarters building was built and the company continued to maintain its unique status as the largest non-union motor freight carrier in the U.S. Kenny's passion for the international field influenced him to resign from Overnite in 1981 to further that interest. He soon created an import/ export business where he enjoyed traveling the world once again. Mr. Gentil was a member of various boards in Richmond and abroad. He was a former deacon of Second Presbyterian Church and a life member of the Commonwealth Club and Country Club of Virginia. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Dorothy Negus Gentil; sons, Kenneth Gray Gentil Jr. and Stevens Negus Gentil; daughters, Kimberly Gentil Grubbs and Dorothy Winn Gentil; daughter-in-law, Margaret Gentil; son-in-law, Ron Grubbs; grandchildren, Robert Gentil, Conner Gentil, Claire Gentil, Winn Pierson; and stepgrandchildren, Katherine Grubbs and Andrew Grubbs. He was predeceased by his sister, Elaine Merrick and her husband, Edwin J. Merrick. A private graveside service will be held at Hollywood Cemetery, followed by a celebration of Kenny's life at the Commonwealth Club from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on September 30, 2010. Memorial contributions can be made in his name to the Families of the Wounded Fund, c/o Village Bank, P.O. Box 330, Midlothian, Va. 23113, or the Keewaydin Foundation, 10 Keewaydin Road, Salisbury, Vt. 05769. |
