Dear Mrs. Bridges,
We are your next door neighbors from 12th Ave. in St. Charles. My wife Kristin and myself have fond memories with our son Sam when Dick would be in the backyard with Minnie and talk with us. We still remember our young Sam calling over in the yard to "Gick. Gick!!" in his toddler voice. He was a good man.

Dear Mrs. Bridges, Rich, Maria and the entire Bridges Family:
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Bridges. Although it has been way too many years since I had the chance to visit with him, I surely have very fond memories of Mr. Bridges. Every time I had the chance to see him, he always had a warm smile on his face and something very positive to say. I always had the deepest respect for Mr. Bridges and am very grateful to have known him. I will surely miss him. In addition to his many contributions and accomplishments, his wonderful legacy surely lives on through his children; Rich, Dan and Shannon.
Once again, my deepest condolences and please know that the entire Bridges Family will remain in my prayers.
Love,
Tom Gohr
Rich and family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Although i did not have the pleasure of meeting him, he sounds like he was a great man who had his priorities in life correctly aligned. A man who invests in his family blesses not only his children but many generations to come.. May God comfort you in difficult time.
With prayers for you and your family.
Christopher
