Bob Bright, 74, of Idaho Falls, died Monday, May 21, 2012, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center from pulmonary toxicity.
He was born July 14, 1937, in St. Anthony to Douglas and Sara Bright, where he grew up and joined the United States Air Force in 1955. He was stationed in St. Mihiel, France, as a cryptographer. In 1959, he was honorably discharged as airman first class. He attended printing trade school at Idaho State University.
He was employed by the Post Register as a hot-type printer and retired after 40 years as production manager. In the mid-1970s, he partnered with Jack Magnuson and owned Scotty's Drive-In in Idaho Falls.
Bob met and married the love of his life, Judy Fager, in June 1961. Together they had five children and 13 grandchildren. On June 9, 2011, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
He was an active member of Blessed John Paul II Catholic Community, where he served as a Eucharistic minister. He was an avid golfer and loved a good poker game. Family was the most important thing to him, and he often drove to visit his children and grandchildren, no matter how far the drive. Bob was a good friend to all who knew him and was always there when you needed him. He was a generous and loving husband, father and grandfather who adored his grandchildren, taking great pride in them.
He is survived by his wife, Judy of Idaho Falls; his children, Dr. Robert (Jennifer) Bright of Lubbock, Texas, Julianne (Jim) Hargrove of Bremerton, Wash., Steven (Jodi) Bright of Idaho Falls and Mary Joanne (Alex) Constantino of Idaho Falls; and 13 grandchildren.
