So many childhood memories of jumping off bridge and swimming and will always cherish the family holidays and times we shared. We will miss you Grandad.

Rest in peace Mr. Trowbridge. I wasn’t fortunate enough to know him well but did know him well enough to tell through our encounters that he was a good father and husband. Thank you for your service to our country as well.
