My sincere condolences to the Trombley family. Bruce was a great friend to my father and mother, and was there for them at a time when they needed him most.

Bruce was the only one person who called me every day to make sure I was ok when I had Covid in January. I'll miss him very much as a colleague and friend. He treated me and my son as if we were his own. My thoughts and prayers to Bruce's beloved children. God bless.

We can never thank Bruce enough for his years of service and dedication to the library. He gave his all each and every day, showed up to help in all kinds of bad weather, library maintenance emergencies, and any other time we needed him. It has been a gift to know and be friends with Bruce and to watch him raise his wonderful children Derrik and Lauren. Bruce, please know that all of your gestures, both big and small, were deeply appreciated by all of us and we will never forget how you helped us all these years. -with love from all of your George Hail family.
