Birth date: Apr 28, 1932 Death date: Nov 10, 2021
Lt. Colonel Robert (Bob) Franklin Bridges was Promoted to Glory and fully entered the presence of the Lord on November 10th, 2021, surrounded by family and his devoted wife, Betty. Bob was born on April 28th, 1932, in Augusta, Ge Read Obituary
I found Bob to be a quiet, yet friendly and warm gentleman. His spiritual strength, heart and character is seen in the lives of his children and grandchildren. What better testimony could there be to a life well lived?

Bob Bridges was one of the finest men we have ever known. He was a true "man of the cloth:" gentle, kind, and holy. His testimony about being saved at a Billy Graham Crusade, and his running in the races at Men's Camp are just two wonderful memories of this man of God. (Ed & Faye Bailey)
My wife and I had the real privilege of following then Majors Bob and Betty Bridges to an appointment. They had been appointed to a challenging and even difficult situation. In that Corps, the Lord worked through the Bridges' beautiful spirit and strong leadership to turn that difficult situation around and The Salvation Army came back strong. When we succeeded the Bridges there, we found everything in very good order. For the next four years, whenever I was out and about in the community, people would tell me of the good impression Bob Bridges made on behalf of The Salvation Army and on them personally. So many times, people would mention Bob Bridges' impeccable integrity. Today, when I hear the word, integrity, Bob Bridges' name comes to my mind. I am grateful my wife and I had the opportunity to cross paths with Lt. Colonel Bob Bridges. May God continue to bless his family.
I was saddened to hear of your loved one’s passing but at the same time, rejoice with you knowing he has gone to be with the One He loved and served for so long.
I remember Lieutenant.Col. Bob as a quiet Christian Gentleman whose living was a testimony to His Lord and Saviour. I will be uplifting you all in prayer. May He who knew sorrow Himself be your comfort.
