Bruce Delbridge Obituary

Published by Heritage Coolidge Funeral Home on Jul. 4, 2013.
Mr. Delbridge was born on March 23, 1925, in Flint, Mich., to Oscar and Edna (Augustine) Delbridge. He served in the Army and spent time in Japan. He was a cook and sharpshooter. He loved to restore cars and play guitar and fiddle. He was a member of the Desert Country Musicians of Casa Grande. An active life member of the Coolidge Church of the Nazarene, he dedicated much time doing chores around the church — his labor of love. He was devoted to his family and loved spending time with them. Survivors include his wife, Wanda; two sons, Randy Delbridge of Phoenix and Mickey Delbridge of Chino Valley; four daughters, Penny Martin, Debbie Edwards, Sherry Flores of California and Lori Hake of Phoenix; four brothers; a sister; 17 grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by three brothers, two sisters and a granddaughter.
