Statement from Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr on the Loss of Former Gloucester Mayor Bruce Tobey
Statement from Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr on the Loss of Former Gloucester Mayor Bruce Tobey:
“Bruce Tobey was truly a son of Gloucester, who lived a life filled with public service and civic engagement that made difference for our city and beyond.
From working on the waterfront to duty in the Coast Guard, to both appointed and elected service in City Hall, Bruce gave his time and talent to important elements of our community, and he led with the wisdom and insight learned from those experiences.
His love for his family, his community, and the causes he cared about will long be remembered as his legacy and his example for others to follow endures.”
