S. George Bromberg

S. George Bromberg- of Lexington, passed away on January 31, 2015. He is survived by his devoted wife of 55 years, Carol, his loving sons, David, and Larry and his wife Renee, and his cherished grandchildren, who uplifted his spirits throughout his lengthy illness. Born in Malden, he pursued a career in law and public service. In the early nineteen-seventies he was a strong anti-smoking advocate, declaring no smoking in his law offices and his State House hearings, where he served as Chairman of the State Ballot Commission for ten years. An early proponent of gun laws, he drew up the corporation for “People versus Handguns” which initiated a referendum in Massachusetts seeking a total ban on handguns. Energetic and determined in his professional life, he applied the same energy and determination in his retirement years which served him well as he battled his many illnesses. Interment and memorial observance will be private. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to MGH Cancer Center, 55 Fruit St., Boston, MA 02114.
