My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Bridegum family. I have many great childhood memories playing soccer due to Mr. Bridegum's selflessness. He spent many hours, year after year, supporting a bunch of us kids running around having fun. I often thought of him as I coached my two sons playing soccer. He was truly kind and an excellent role model.

I had the pleasure of playing for Bill for many years. He truly stood out as a man of great compassion, leadership and a true role model to all of us kids. I am saddened by his passing but it serves to remind me of the type of man, coach and mentor I should strive to be. Thank you Bill and all of the Bridegums for your very important and positive influence on my life.

Mr. B, Coach, Mentor, Friend, Father, Husband and so much more to so many people. I am deeply saddened by your passing. My heart is broken. Mr. and Mrs. B, parents to me, Brian and Doug like Brothers to me growing up. Although many years have passed since our soccer games and tournaments but Mr. Bridegum still lives on through so many of us that have now become Coaches, Mentors, Friends, Fathers, and Husbands. I will never forget one of his favorite phrases when motivating our Team...."Let's put some meat on the table fellas!" See you in Heaven Coach! God Bless you Mrs. B, Brian and Doug.

Bill & I were fellow commodores in 2000. He led Almas through a successful year and winner of the coveted Burroughs trophy. I was commodore of Kena that same year. Over these past 16 years I have often had the pleasure of Bill and Alma Jean's company. They have touched the lives of many in a most positive way.
