FRANCIS BRIGHT Jr.

Rest in peace Skip, I wish we could have spent more time together with both our families like we once did, I didnt get a chance to see you before you passed but I know you know I would have been there if I could have, you were a really good friend and listener, luv ya rest in peace my friend

Skip Bright showed me the element of kindness and honesty. I had lost my high school ring in 1973 and Skip had found out that it was mine and returned it to me after I had lost my class ring for 2 weeks. Today when I think of being honest and kind I think of that young man in 1973, Skip Bright, that taught me a simple lesson. Bless all and mercy and Grace to you

I am so glad that I was able to see Skip at the Reunion and spend a little time with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in Peace my friend.

I went to HS with Skip...we didn't know each other well, but I do remember he was always very nice. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Skip's family and friends. God Speed Skip...and watch over those of us down here. God Bless

Skip was my doubles partner in 1974 and 1975. We were simply compatible. (He was steady and I was not.) We won a lot of tennis matches together and a couple pre-season tournaments. We beat some good teams from Quartz Hill and Burroughs. Coach Dudley broke us up a couple times but ultimately put us back together. We had chemistry during those two winning seasons when we played Varsity at Victor Valley High. Those were good times. Thanks partner.

After close to 30 years, Skip and I accidently met at a therapeutic riding competition - CALNET- where he was one of the judges. It was great to reconnect, see his smiling face and that wonderful connection he had for all the special and talented riders. It was fun to know another person who enjoyed Tennis and Horses!

Skip, there probably wasn't enough space in Sunday's Daily Press to express the number of friends you had made and KEPT over so many years; although far too short for me and the family. Forever, my children will remember their Uncle Skip and the many memories that you leave us with. I will never forget your generous spirit and everlasting friendship during the good and bad times we both endured. The last day I saw you was the best day with you. You left an indelible mark on the lives of my...
