Please know that I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. As well as sending big hugs, and all my love.
May his memory always be for a blessing.

Ellen and I were very saddened to learn of Dick's passing. I first met him when I was a resident at the Institute of Living, and he was one of my first supervisors. Ellen and I have many fond memories of times we shared with Dick and Helen. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Helen and her family.

A distinguished career, life and legacy. I see this regularly in his son, my friend, David on a regular basis.

May You Rest in Perfect Peace Doctor B.

I will always remember and appreciate Dr. Bridburg for his willingness to share his expertise and the passion for the work he did. He gave so much of himself to mentor, give feedback or occasionally ask a thoughtful question that would totally put you on the spot. He taught me much and was really a teacher to so many. He took the time to offer me support during my first difficult situation as a new professional. While that was 25 years ago, I have never forgotten that conversation or his helpful words. He was an amazing person and his memory will long live on. I am sorry for your loss and may your memories be a blessing.

It is with great sadness I express my condolences to the family. Dr B was a fascinating man, a wonderful human being, a well respected psychiatrist, and my mentor. It was an honor to work with Dr B. His teachings are at the core of the work I continue to provide, his kindness and compassion lives within each of us, students and clients, and his support got us through challenging days. He wore the love for his family on his sleeve as we heard all about you and how proud he was with all of you and your accomplishments. I appreciate his guidance during my early days as a supervisor and his support in building the ACT Team. It´s a rare blessing to be told your program is the medical directors retirement plan (1st retirement). I will always remember his humor and his stories. When he left ACT in his final retirement, it was the end of an era, but we kept in touch so it felt like he was still there. Now that he is gone, when we find ourselves challenged, we will ask ourselves WWDBD, What would Dr B do?
Thank You!

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Dr. Richard Bridburg. He was not only a respected colleague and mentor at CHR, but also a genuinely kind and inspiring presence whose impact reached far beyond the workplace. His wisdom, generosity of spirit, and unwavering dedication to others shaped so many of us, and his legacy will continue through the lives he touched.
Dr. Bridburg's life story is as remarkable as the man himself from his early brilliance and athletic achievements in Dublin to a lifelong devotion to medicine.
May his family find comfort in knowing he passed peacefully, surrounded by love, and in the knowledge that his influence will endure in the countless colleagues, patients, and friends who were better for having known him. He will be deeply missed and always remembered with gratitude and respect.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dick when he was the Medical Director at CHR and then later when he worked on our ACT Team in Manchester. His dedication to the highest quality of care for those whom we serve was inspirational. He was a large part of our success as an organization as we grew and established ourselves as a provider of high quality care. He had a tremendous sense of humor. My deepest condolences to Helen, his children, and the extended family. He always talked so fondly of his children and grandchildren.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dick's passing. I worked closely with Dick for years at CHR. He was a wonderful mentor and colleague who cared deeply about the people we served and about the organization. Many learned a great deal from him and the agency grew dramatically during his time there. He had high standards for care. And a wonderful, nutty sense of humor (he could deliver a punch line with the best of them). He loved his family and we talked often about his children and grandchildren. I missed seeing him in the last few years and will hold on to my memories of the times we spent together.

I shall miss him. May his memory be a blessing to Helen and the rest of your family.

Dr Bridberg was highly regarded by the patients at the IOL. His kindness and dependability has helped so much to make the IOL a wonderful, healing place for so many. Thank you, Dr. Bridberg.

I´m so sorry for your loss. It´s clear he was a very special person who was deeply loved and will forever be remembered for his enduring legacy and remarkable qualities.
