Paul W. Brightmire

I remember Judge Brightmire fondly and with gratitude as a fair, patient, supportive and brilliant mentor in my first job as a lawyer at the Court of Appeals. His humor and laugh were infectious, and his stories about his family were always filled with humor and love.

To all the Brightmire Family. I am sorry for the loss of your beloved Father. I am glad that I got to see Paul a few years ago when he was still living on 41st Street. He was always so kind and friendly to me. I have fond memories growing up next your family. May the love you shared and the good, and special times you had together get you through this difficult time. Sincerely, Richard (Rick) Thompson

Our family wanted to extend our deepest sympathy on the passing of your father/grandfather. Our mother always cherished her friendship with both of your parents.

Know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I was one of those who called him Coach Brightmire. May your memories give you some peace at this time.

A PRECIOUS ONE FROM YOU IS GONE
A VOICE YOU LOVED IS STILL
A PLACE IS VACANT IN YOUR HOMES
WHICH NEVER CAN BE FILLED.

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I AM PRAYING FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

OUR WORLD KEEPS ON CHANGING AS GOD INTENDED AND SORROW IS PART OF OUR LIVES IN THIS CHANGING WORLD.

PEACE AND LOVE TO YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

My heart goes out to Bill & all of his family. I'm so sorry for their loss, Paul was an outstanding person and achieved so much. He is in a better place and will be watching from above.
