Listen to DCist on WAMU at Noon
Our hearts are heavy as word reaches us that Bruce Robey, the co-founder of the Voice of the Hill newspaper and the H Street Playhouse, died Sunday night of an apparent heart attack. He was 65. Mark Segraves has a lovely tribute to Bruce up online already. The last time DCist spoke to Bruce, he was telling us all about his newly relaunched version of Hill-Talk, the online bulletin board that used to be an integral part of Voice of the Hill before it was sold to the Current newspapers. Bruce and his wife Adele have long been tireless advocates of improving the quality of life of District residents, and Bruce will be sadly missed.

This is indeed sad. Bruce and Adele really have been, for lack of a better, term model citizens.
i got to tour their house as part of last year's cultural tourism DC H street alley tour. thoughts go out to the family and friends.
Huge loss for the H street and Capitol Hill community. We will miss you Bruce.
