Jerry Bridges, my good friend.

[PatMiles]

My good friend Jerry Bridges (74) passed away on Monday, August 10, 2020 from the ravages of cancer. He was a Master class Open shooter (USPSA) in Albuquerque. We spent many Saturdays fabbing stage props on my driveway for our local club, Rio Grande Practical Shooters. We both served on the BoD for many years.

Jerry never failed to put together stages for our club, they were never impossible stages but were challenging with a hook hidden in there somewhere which would trip you up if you didn't pay attention. His stages were one of the main reasons the annual High Desert Classic in Albuquerque brought shooters from all over the southwest.

We traveled to many matches around the southwest and never failed to have a roaring good time.

God speed my friend, your suffering is over, you are now in the arms of your Savior.

Said better than I could state it. Did not know your friend but have had shooting friends like him who never shied from work or the responsibilities of organizing and running matches. Many of them have passed too soon.
