He was the best Spanish teacher I had at UCHS. I appreciated his wisdom and humor. He is missed by all who knew him. In the hope we will all see each other again in a better place, rest in peace.

For two years, 1970-72, I was one of Mr. Bilgere's students at UCHS, in addition to being a member of his Guitarist's Guild. While I'm sure I helped make his life hell at times, he did make the learning (and playing) experience memorable. I can still see him, perched on top of a desk.... And, believe it or not, I have some of our old Guitarist's Guild songs in my old guitar case. Vaya con Dios, Senor Bilgere. Descansa en paz.
