Not sure what to say?

Lisa, David, Robin and Scott...your father, my uncle was very special to me and Rick. I'll miss hearing his voice and listening to his stories and looking into his eyes wondering what he must be thinking. Rick and I loved Uncle Bill and wished he could have made another trip to the Outer Banks with us before he entered into eternal life. God Bless

Being one of the many Starclaire athletes, we took for granted the lives the fathers and husbands lead prior to leading the young men on the football field.
Bill was obviously one of our many Hero's that we all looked up to, not only on the football field but one we all celebrate the lives of each November on Veterans Day. He certainly was a huge influence in my life and dear friends of Ron, Doris, Jeff, Carol and Steve Clark.
Being a Veteran myself, Mr. Bill Bridgewater...I...

Mary - What a life Billy had a true hero! You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bridgewater Family,
I was 6 years old when World War II ended. I lived in Asheville,NC. on Austin Ave. My parents were Greek immigrants, and we lived across the street from another American-Greek family, the Chakales family. I am guessing that it was in the summer of 1946, when the Chakales family invited us to join them for a picnic in Cherokee in the Great Smoky Mountains. You have to picture the conditions then.

God's peace to you and your family. Our prayers are with you.

Lisa, David, Robin, and Scott, I'm so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. A favorite memory of mine is when I spent a week with him and your mom in Yadkinville before you all were born. He so wanted kids! He taught me how to shoot a 22 rifle in the back yard, firing at a target nailed to the side of a wooden box. He was a hero for me. May you be filled with your good memories of him.

Uncle Jerry

May the God of all comfort give you peace during this difficult time, 2Cor. 1:3,4.
