BRUCE VON ROSENVINGE 1961-2021
It is with great sadness we are sharing with you that Bruce passed away on Friday, December 3. Bruce was a most beloved member of our Dover Foundation family.
Bruce will be remembered by all of us as outgoing and gregarious and so much fun to be around. He was a talented actor, musician and exceptionally gifted director. If you were fortunate enough to be in a play or musical that Bruce directed you know how generous he was with his time, attention and praise. He brought out the best in all of us and that is a very rare gift.
Bruce's involvement with The Dover Foundation continued a family legacy. Bruce's mother Barbara von Rosenvinge was an early member of The Dover Foundation and was both musical composer and director. Bruce followed in his mother's footsteps and often attributed his love of musical theater to his mother and her encouragement.
Bruce so very positively touched the lives of all who had the privilege to work with him and he will always be remembered by us for his gift of laughter and love. He leaves a legacy of memories and will be so very missed by all.

Our Mission
The mission of the Dover Foundation is to foster community spirit,
neighborliness, cooperation, friendships and service within the town of Dover.
The Dover Foundation is an independent, non-profit, 501-C3, all volunteer
organization that has served the Dover community since 1947.
The Foundation is most known for outstanding theatrical performances held in
Dover, featuring Dover and surrounding community residents.
In June of each year, scholarship awards are granted to Dover students, and
community grants are made to the Dover Community.
More than 500 Dover high school seniors have received over $600,000 in
scholarship grants.
Many cross generational projects have also benefitted from its generous support,
including the Channing Pond skating rink, and tennis and summer playground
programs (1950s-1960s); Dover Choral Society, Dover Dig, and Boy Scout cabin
rebuilding (1970s); new stage curtains for the Dover Town House (1981);
auditorium lighting for the high school (1993); Dover Music Festival, sound
systems at the high school auditorium/theater, and Dover athletic programs
(2000-2010s).
We thank the Dover community for their support and look forward to many more years of great theater and community service.
