George B. Bridgman

George B. Bridgman, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away on March 4, 2005. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Louise; his children, Blair, Katie and Bryan; his grandchildren, Lauren, Evan, Raine, Leah, Mary, Blake and one more on the way; and relatives and many dear friends, especially Cathy Cupps who was like a daughter to him. George served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. George was a teacher of carpentry and astronomy for over 20 years at the New Canaan Country Day School in New Canaan, Conn. He was the associate director of the Episcopal Church's Roslyn Conference Center in Richmond. George was an active member of St. Bartholomew's Church in Richmond, just recently completing his term as senior warden. George was an incredible person, whose love of music and art was evident in everything he did. George will be truly missed by the many people whose lives he touched in his 82 years on this earth. A memorial service will be held at St. Bartholomew's Church, 10627 Patterson Avenue, Richmond, Va., at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 12, 2005. In lieu of flowers, George would have greatly appreciated donations to the Fan Free Clinic in Richmond (where he was a volunteer for 20 years), whose mission to help people from all walks of life was very dear to his heart.
