Longtime WCHS Sports Anchor Bruce Glasier has passed away.

Glasier,  who had been battling lung cancer, passed away late last night at the age of 69.

Glasier started working for WCSH back in 1977 and was the face of local sports in Maine before retiring in 2012.

The station says that Bruce was a major reason many young people in Maine chose to be sportscasters, or go into broadcasting. His effect on others can not be overstated. He will be terribly missed.
