Mr. Bridenball served in the United States Army and was a proud Viet Nam veteran, who was honored to serve his country.
He was a loving husband and a good father to his step-son Mike. He loved animals, especially dogs, and saved several dogs that he took in off the street.

We had quite an adventure that year in 'Nam, ol' buddy. Like a year-long boy scout campout, carrying guns. It is a piece of our lives, though at times somewhat harrowing, I'll always remember fondly. We looked out for each other, did our job and, thank the Lord, came home safe.
Janey and Mike, may God bless and comfort you.

Gonna miss you buddy. It started a long time ago what was it 1959? A lot of good memories and I’ll never forget you man.Rest in peace man you earned it.
It was an honor to have known you, Stu. I especially enjoyed your keen sense of humor and was profoundly gratified to have spent time with you on the final day of your life, helping your loving and dutiful wife attend to your needs. You will, indeed, put a smile on Jesus' face when you two meet.
You will so be missed and forever in the hearts of my whole family. I will never forget that you are the one that told my parents what my name should be. 💔
