In Memoriam

Leonard Bridger, 86

1936 - 2022

Leonard (Hank) Bridger passed on December 18th in peace at 86 yrs old.  He was son of Leonard & Martha (Wykoff) Bridger, born 1936 and graduated a native of Oneonta.   He is survived by wife Jeanne (Mohar) Bridger, daughter Kelly Bridger, son Jim & wife Chrissy Bridger, grandsons Jack & Sawyer Bridger along with nieces and nephews.

It’s an impossible task to sum up a lifetime of a man like Hank.  He was considered a Saint by all who knew him, his devotion and caregiving for his wife never faltered, neither did his humor.   He was an avid outdoorsman spending time with his children walking the woods, hunting, fishing, gardening, riding snowmobiles and target shooting.  He was a loving father and a son’s best friend; these were the joys of his days.
