Robert J. BRUGGMEN

Dear Mrs. Bruggeman, family, friends and former students, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news and that I missed the visitation as I would've been there to say goodbye to one of my favorite former teachers.

While I was at Fairview High School from 1976-1980, Mr. Bruggeman taught French, Mythology, and Etymology. From day one of my freshman year I looked forward to being able to take Mythology, but in order to take that class you had to be a Junior. In my Sophomore year, instead of taking...

Dear Jamie, and family: I am so sorry to hear this sad news! My sympathies and kind thoughts are with you all, as well as my prayers for healing. May God be with you.

To the family - May you be comforted by the peace of God during this most challenging time and in the years to come.

So saddened to learn of Bob's death. He was one of my favorite teachers. Would see him frequently either at the Beavercreek library or the Beavercreek Senior Center. He always remembered me and we always shared many memories (even after 58 years). He will be missed by many.

This may be a little long for a remembrance on this site, but my heart is overflowing with memories of my teacher, mentor, and friend, Monsieur Bob Bruggeman. I send gentle healing thoughts toward his wife, Jamie, and all six of his children.
Not only was Mr. B's French class challenging, it was varied, interesting and fun. Along with studying verb conjugations, we took dictation, watched French newscasts, learned current idioms, and were immersed in the French culture. We considered...

To the family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed. We had a nice visit with him in June. Will remember the good times at Eastview pool. God Bless,
Judy and Mervin Marshall
