Frederick J. Bridger Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Frederick J. Bridger of Twillingate, Newfoundland, who passed away on December 21, 2021, at the age of 71, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was predeceased by : his cousin Joan (Jack); his parents, Raymond and Ida; his stepfather Elmo Stockley; and his brother Rex (Marilyn).

He is survived by : his wife Mildred; his sons, Christopher (Amber), Chad and Sandy; his grandchild Clancy; and his siblings, Dora (Lloyd), Ellis (Vera), Alfred (Yvonne) and Clarence.

Physical fitness was very important to him as displayed by earning a black belt in Shotokan karate but actually doing so for the exercise, playing basketball every week with the local high school team until COVID-19 restrictions stopped this activity, and completing 100 sit-ups per day right up to this past summer.

In lieu of flowers, the family is suggesting donations to either the Twillingate Hospital Pond Committee or Rock Cut Twillingate Trails c/o the Town of Twillingate in remembrance of Fred given his passion for hiking and walking on both Twillingate Islands.
