DANIEL F. BRIDGES

Dan Bridges literally changed my life. I applied to Belmont Hill in 1983, for entry into what would have been 8th grade in my public school. Mr. Bridges interviewed me and took a personal interest in me once I was admitted - one of 6 or 8 students to enter BHS in Form 2. Once at BHS, he was always on the lookout for me and asked about my development often. Belmont Hill was a springboard to college, manhood, fatherhood and just life in general and Mr. Bridges was the one who saw whatever...

I am very sorry to hear this news, and I send my sincere condolences to the Bridges family for their loss. Mr Bridges (he'll always be Mr. Bridges), was my first English teacher at Belmont Hill when we both joined the school in the fall of 1968. He was a gentle man and a supportive teacher who helped make my transition to a new school much easier. We remained very close during the next six years, and I have always remembered and admired his spectacular lamb shop sideburns. Long after Belmont...

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the Bridges family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come, may you draw comfort from that hope.

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

Maryrita and I will miss Dan very much. He was a nice man. We saw him and every summer since 1996, when we vacationed in Wells Beach. We often went to brunch with Dan and the crew, including in August of last year.

Rest In Peace, Dan!

How precious our love ones are to us. They are even more precious to God. John 3:16

Dan was a Prince of a fellow.

He was a brilliant conversationalist, good humored, quick witted and always upbeat.

I will miss our morning coffees and his helpful advice.

He was and remains an inspiration to me.
