SAMSON, Ala. – Many around Samson knew Bruce Maloy as their town’s comedian, a goodhearted, wiry little jokester who was always boasting about hitting it big someday.
In life, he never really got t
he spotlight he was seeking. But in the days following the massacre that shattered their small Alabama community, some have dropped the comedian label and replaced it with another: Hero.
Hat tip: Michelle.
America, where ordinary men do extraordinary things. We salute you Bruce.

I am Bruce step daughter. Although the two of us didn’t always meet eye to eye, It is still more painful than I am willing to show. It’s the hardest phone call to get. Thank you for all those support. Bruce is my hero.
Bit responds: We’re glad to have you with us, Val.
