Rep, Trombley dead at 57

Rep. Ira Trombley, Democrat from Grand Isle, died suddenly Sunday at home. He was 57.

Trombley had been out of the Statehouse much of last session with a foot infection, but he appeared to be over that and ready to return in January, friends said.

A memorial service is likely to be held after the New Year, said Rep. Mitzi Johnson, D-South Hero.

I remember Ira as a man always in a good mood, always ready to chat.

Ira was a class act. He used to send postcards out to Vermonters who wrote letters to the editor about issues that he identified with or supported. It was an old school tactic that still works. Rest in Peace Rep. Trombley.
