Robert William Bridges

After an extended illness,  He dwells now in a heaven free of earthly burdens. Being handicapped and on crutches all his life did not keep Bobby from doing what he needed to do. He was an avid writer in his early years, even writing for a local newspaper. He graduated from Shelby High School, and went on to attend Gardener Webb College. He also graduated from Shelby Commercial College with Degree in Accounting. He received a Degree in Real Estate Appraisal from Cleveland County Community College. He was in Boy Scouts, and enjoyed attending Church when possible. Being the oldest of four brothers, he held his ground most of the time. He travelled a lot with family in early years across the US, and a few times into Mexico. He had a vast library of books since he loved to read. “Bobby” knew more facts and knowledge to just about anything you would even think of knowing.

 

Bobby was preceded in death by his father Roscoe Conklin Bridges. He is survived by his mother, Louise Bridges of the home. He is also survived by his three brothers, Barry Bridges of the home, Benny Bridges and wife Sandra of Charlotte, NC, Dr. Tom Bridges and wife Carol of Carolina Beach, NC. He is survived by nieces and nephews Chris Bridges and wife Michelle, of Charlotte, NC, Carrie Bridges Daley and husband Jonathan Daley of Charlotte, NC, Tommy Bridges and wife Jen of Wilmington, NC, and Josey Bridges Snyder and husband John Snyder of Cary, NC. He had great nieces and nephews Rachel and Caleb Bridges, Haylee and Kaitlyn Daley, and Virginia Snyder.
