The Trustees of the Malden Public Library are sad to announce the passing of our President and long-time library supporter Dr. John E. Tramondozzi.

Dr. Tramondozzi served the Malden Public Library as a trustee since 1980 and became President in 2010.  John was proud to be a lifelong native of Malden, born at home in 1942, in the Edgeworth neighborhood.  He graduated Malden Catholic in 1960 and had a 44-year career as a chemistry professor at Curry College.  He was Chair of the Curry College Science Division for 16 years. John was past president of the Malden Historical Commission and the Malden Historical Society.  As chair of the Library’s Art Committee, he was a powerful force in curating and expanding the library’s art collection.  In a past interview, John said, “I do for the whole community, the whole City, not for individual interests.”  He will be greatly missed.
