I am very sorry to hear of Buddy's passing.  My prayers are with his family and friends in their time of loss.  I worked for and with Buddy at NNS and used to see him a the Progressive Club outings.  I always considered him a friend.

I am very sorry to learn of Buddy's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.  I worked for Buddy back in the early 1980's at the shipyard when we were working on the sub overhaul program and worked around him in the years following.  He had faith in my abilities and helped guide my carrier as I am now an X31 test supervisor on the Virginia Class Sub program.  There are many fond shipyard memories, but I will always remember when he came and visited me at the hospital 32 years ago when we had our first daughter.

Sending my prayers and condolences to all of James' (Buddy) family & friends. 
It has been years since I last saw him.We were friends when we were very young.
Rest In Peace !

Robin

My deepest sympathy to Diane, Cindy, Robin, and Chris.  I remember Buddy being there for all us kids growing up on Mohea Circle.  Taking us to Pilots games, coaching us in baseball, and not minding when we played in the Bridgeman's yard being kids.  We really had fun playing G.I. Joes in the front yard, riding Chris' mini bike in the back yard, and spending the night a lot.  Buddy was one of the main fixtures in our neighborhood.  He was a great father and husband and a great friend to my parents.  Always a smile on his face.  Rest in peace Buddy, Richie, Vivienne, Brenden, and Hannah

I light this candle for Buddy. I will light one for him every year as I do for my dad who also battled cancer. With much love.

My heart goes out to you all. Thoughts and prayers too. 
Luv to everyone in this difficult time.

Robin,
Psalm 31:5 reminds  us that weeping may endure for a night,  but joy cometh in the morning. May the sweet communion of the Holy  Spirit  rest,  rule  and abide with you. So sorry to hear about the passing  of  your  father.

Your Friend in Christ
Shirley

I am so sorry to learn about Buddy's passing only a day after we saw him.  We will truly miss our good friend and neighbor of over forty years. He was always there when we needed help or some advice. Buddy and family were there for me when I was going through my bout with cancer.  Rest in Peace my friend. Condolences to Diana and family. We are here for you if you need our help.

Our sympathy and prayers go to you Diana, Cindy, Robin, Chris, and all of the family. Buddy was such a good neighbor and friend. We will miss him.   Bob and Carol Craft

Buddy was always there when we were kids growing up on Mohea Circle. He tooks us to our ball games, coached teams and did whatever he could for the kids on the block. He used to take us to the Peninsula Pilots games during the summer. We would stop by and pick up his Dad "Chief" on the way. We took lots of rides in that old blue station wagon. Our thoughts and prayers are with Diana, Cindy, Robin and Chris. Your husband and dad was a great man. Rest well Mr. Bridgeman.

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of Mr. B's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Neglected to sign my name on my message to you - the one about the original "Mohea" crowd.  If you need anything, please let me know.

Dianna and family, My heart felt sympathy goes out to you and your family.  We will all miss Buddy but at least we know he is happy and healthy now with the Lord.

As one of the original "Mohea" crowd, I am so sad to hear of Buddy's passing.  My love and prayers to you, Diana, Cindy, Robin, and Chris and all of the family.

I am sorry to learn of Buddy's passing. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of Buddy's family. May God comfort them. Buddy and I went to school together and also worked together at the Wythe Theater from 1958 until we got out of high school. Buddy will be missed !!
