Richard Edwin “Rocky” Bridges, born May 10, 1958, died Jan. 5, 2016, at his Stanford home after a short battle with aggressive cancer. Rick graduated from Stanford University in 1982 with a bachelor’s of arts in economics and was active in Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Golf was important to Rick. He was a member of his high school golf team, became a long ball champion, won a pro-am tournament, taught golf, ran a golf club business (The Clubfitter), and worked at the Stanford Golf Course and Driving Range.
He formed Uncle Rick’s Food Co. and created the omg! energy bars sold locally. Wine was another passion … tasting, collecting, sharing and making with friends.
Survivors are his parents Dr. Edwin and Marjorie Bridges of Stanford; siblings Becky (Rick Altman) of Pleasanton, Brian Bridges of Stanford and Bruce Bridges (Cynthia Gaertner) of Los Altos; aunt Mary Pollock of E. Lansing, Michigan; uncle James Pollock of Macon, Georgia; and nieces and nephews Erica and Jamie Altman, and Anson and Nolan Bridges.
A Celebration of Life is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at Menlo Presbyterian Church, 950 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park. Donations in Rick’s memory are welcome at Cancer Research Institute at www.cancerresearch.org.
