I just saw his documentary on the WWE network and boy was it very interesting. Never realized just how huge his following was in the North East. I knew he was big but boy was he BIG. I remember my grandfather mentioning him several times to me when he was alive. Sammartino was great friends with Arnold and Franco too. Did he ever patch things up with his son David?

Brother, fans used to actually CRY when Bruno was "in trouble."
While it was a rumor that Bruno's bitterness towards the McMahons' and the Fed were based on the fact that his son never got a push, I am unaware of his most recent relationship with son David.

I always thought that David resented Bruno because he simply could not cut it and live up to his father's name. Jealousy played a major part from what I understood.

I've heard that, as well.
Maybe Bruno's resentment towards the Fed "just happened" to coincide with the window following David's departure.
As usual, I suspect the friction was multi-layered.
Who knows the "whole truth?"

Your guess is as good as mine on that one bud.
