I am so sorry to just now learned of Col Bressans passing. I was his dentist for a few years before his passing at Dr. Thomas Quigleys office. He was not only a model patient but also a dear friend who always brought so much energy, joy and inspiration to our office whenever he came. He richly blessed us with stories of his life, experiences, love and loss as well as nourishment with with his homemade breads. Col Bressan holds a very special place in my heart and I always will cherish his memories.

Colonel Bressan was my Dad's boss at Randolph A.F.B. Personnel Center and my Dad took Col. Bressan's position when he retired. Col. Bressan was always in a good mood, full of energy and had a positive attitude that radiated from him. He was always a joy to be around and always stop what he was doing and visit with you. Have a good rest Col., you have well earned it, sir.
