Not sure what to say?

Judy,
I was saddened and dismayed to learn of Bill's passing. I meet Bill on a recuiting trip to UAB many years ago and he was instrumental in my decision to come to UAB. Later I was a proud MPH graduate from a school that he did so much to build. Bill was an excellent teacher and a superb administrator who enriched the lives of all who knew him. His contributions to public health have made this world and this state a better place.

To David and all the Bridgers family, may God give you comfort at this time.

(Jeff Bridgers)Sorry to hear about the lost of your Father. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

Judy, my heart goes out to you at this time of great loss. May you find peace in all of the wonderful memories you share with Bill, my dear friend. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

To Mrs.Bridgers and Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Dr.Bridgers was one of a kind, a caring man.

I'm so sorry to have never met all of Bill's family, but mostly I'm so sorry to hear of his death. When we were in High School together, I thought he was the cutest thing walking.Peace come to each of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Bill was my friend in High School in Asheville. I remember him from our time together in Junior Optimist as well. He was quiet, unassuming, and extremely intelligent. He was liked by all.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.
