Bruce Walter Herold

Rest in peace powerlifter.

Bruce was a great champion with the Penn State Barbell Club

I met Bruce as a fellow Spanish instructor at Penn State, but also became friends with him. I knew that Bruce invested everything of himself in his teaching, which he loved. He was a man of quite dignity, and a man who demonstrated compassion for others in many ways. I think he made a difference in people's lives, and I am grateful that I came to know him, but saddened at his leaving us behind at such a young age. My condolences to his family.

I had Mr. Herold for 4 years while attending Bald Eagle High School. He always made Spanish classes fun and interesting. May he be at peace now and his family know that he is at home with the Lord and watching over all of you .

dear laura ,bruce ,and mary...my thoughts and prayers are with you all ..to everything there is a season...and these dark times will lead into the warmth of a cleansing spring rain....peace

He was my homeroom teacher and spanish teacher in the 80s and he always tried to make the class fun. He will be sadly missed.

Mr. Herold was my Spanish Teacher at Bald Eagle Area High School from 1976 to 1982. But he was more than that. Most teachers come and go in your life. Mr. Herold was there with me for 6 years. He taught me a lot about being not only a good student, but a good person too. He was an inspiration to many. He was a man of quiet dignity and great compassion. I miss him very much.

Bruce was my big brother. Growing up we battled like most kids did but I was always so proud of him. He excelled and pushed himself - be it sports, academics or teaching. Bruce always worked so hard year after year to be a better teacher for his students. He wanted so much for them to learn and be inspired.

I'm so very grateful I was able to tell him recently just how proud of him I have always been.
I Love You Bruce, Joan

My most heart felt thoughts to both Laura and Bruce and Aunt Mary. It is especailly nice to read entries from his students, a great teachter can make a great impact. I personally will miss beating him in a card game and listening to him speak of his travels. We love and will miss you Uncle Bruce. Jan
