Victor Bridy Obituary

NORTHUMBERLAND - Victor F. Bridy, 94, of Emmanuel Home, 800 Priestley Ave., formerly at 980 Mahoning St., Milton, went home to be with his savior, Jesus Christ, while at Grandview Nursing Home on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018.

He was born in Kulpmont on April 2, 1924, the youngest of 10 children, a son of the late Angelo and Margaret (Gardner) Bridy.

He was a resident of Kulpmont until 1967. Victor was employed for 27 years as an independent coal miner. He later retired after working for several decades at Shipper Car Line, Milton.

He also served in the U.S.Navy Air Core during World War II. While serving our country during the war, he was a belly gunner and tail gunner on a B17 or B29. During one excursion in Africa he had 20 feet of his wing shot off during a return trip home. By God's grace, he and his crew were able to execute a safe emergency landing of the aircraft.

On Dec. 10, 1947, in Manhattan, New York, he married the love of his life, the late Genevieve O'Brick. Together they were blessed with 67 years of marriage.

He attended Snydertown Christian Assembly, Snydertown, and was a former member of Saint Mary's Church, and the American Legion.

Victor had an intense love for gardening. He grew the most brilliant dahlias and roses, as well as delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables. Victor had a very generous heart. He enjoyed sharing his flowers, fruits and vegetables with those within the community and dearest to his heart.

Victor had a deep love for his family and a genuine appreciation for children, including his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and neighbors. He resided and was cared for by those at Emmanuel Home Personal Care, Northumberland, for greater than five years, where he enjoyed regularly attending Bible studies and various social activities.

Kim,
So sorry to read of your grandfather's passing. He was such a sweet man and I enjoyed talking with him at the sporting events while the kids were at Southern. May your strong faith bring you much needed comfort. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in the peace of the Lord.
I will remember all of you in my prayers.
