Rest In Peace Bruce Lerch

So I know this isn’t directly Wellesley related but it kind of is and I was sad to learn that Bruce Lerch a very well known high school sports reporter at the Boston Herald passed away after a short battle with cancer. Bruce was well liked and well respected by everyone, players, coaches, fans, and administrators and having met Bruce on more than one occasion I can see why, as he was the utmost professional, a class act and an exceptional reporter. Bruce could be found at football fields, hockey rinks, and lacrosse fields all over the state and the reason why I post about him on here is that he was a frequent visitor at Wellesley games over the years, which is where I met him actually covering a girls hockey game. Bruce’s most recent visit to Wellesley was the Bay State Herget title game for football in October against Milton but as I said he frequented several hockey and lacrosse games over the years. Bruce will be missed greatly and I join with the entire high school sports community across this state in sending my thoughts and prayers to his family and his colleagues at the Herald.
