George Bromley Obituary
Affectionately known as "Uncle Buddy", he was born in Westerly, RI. He was the son of the late William and Catherine (Lowry) Bromley and was a longtime resident of Pawcatuck, CT.
George was a machinist employed with the former Cottrell Printing Presses in Pawcatuck for many years up until his retirement in 1984.
He was a U.S. Army Veteran during WWII. A radio operator during the war in Hawaii and Japan, he served as a member of the 98th Infantry Division unit. He was honorably discharged in 1946. George was a lover of cats, and in his words: "A house with cats is a happy house!"
He is survived by nieces, Frances Slifkin Slater of Pawcatuck, and Janice Slater Wilson (Edward) of Griswold and great-nieces and great-nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Helen L. Slater and a nephew, Robert "Bob" Slater.
A service for George will be held Saturday, December 29th at 10:00 am at the Mystic Funeral Home located on Route 1. His burial will follow the service with military honors at the 1st Hopkinton Cemetery in RI. There are no calling hours.

For the short time I knew him, Buddy always regarded me with kindness and a welcoming smile. He would occasionally refer to someone he knew and commented something unique but funny about them. This always made me laugh. I will always remember him saying" He was a very nice man", I will miss Buddy greatly!

George's family,
My sympathy on your loss. I worked with George briefly in 1962 at Cottrells. He was a talented worker and always had a kind word, no matter how badly I performed at the job. He was always willing to help.
