Julia was born on October 16, 1930, to Jakiw and Maria Hryniw in Polish occupied Ukraine. She was the youngest of 3 daughters growing up in the village of Zolotnyky.  During WWII, her family was relocated by the Nazis to Germany where she was indentured into forced labor. Following the war at the age of 20, she immigrated to America and became a part of the Ukrainian community in the Twin Cities. Here is where she met her husband, John. They lived the American dream owning a home in West St. Paul where they lived until John died in 2016.  They spent many summers at Farm Island Lake, near Aitkin, MN. Julia loved to cook, bake, and garden. Her freezer was always full so she could offer meals and desserts to anyone who stopped by.  She is famous for her apple squares, tortes, pyrohy, and banquet sized meals. Julia was the ultimate “Church Basement Lady” feeding scores of churchgoers. During their 60 years of marriage, Julia and John loved God, worked hard, and raised their family. She will be fondly remembered for being a loving mother and grandmother (Baba).

He took a job at 3M as a construction auditor.
While attending a 3M Company dance, Lloyd met the love of his life, Doris. The two were married at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in 1959.

In May of 1992, Lloyd retired after 35 years at 3M. Doris and Lloyd found their forever home in White Bear Lake and became longtime members of St. Pius X Catholic Church in White Bear Lake. He was a proud member and a 4th degree knight of the Knights of Columbus.
In 1977, Lloyd and Doris purchased a lot at the Care Free Acres Campground Association near Garrison, Minnesota and spent their weekends throughout the summers there to get away from the city. The two were very involved with the campground. Lloyd served as President of the Association for over 26 years. The kids and grandchildren loved to spend time and stay at the Lake with them. Lloyd enjoyed golfing and fishing, but most of all he loved his time spent at the Lake with family and friends.

Robert Bridigum, age 77, died Thursday January 13, 2022 from injuries sustained in a bicycling accident in Vero Beach, FL where he and his wife, Susan, have resided since 2007.
Bob leaves Susan, children Gretchen (Bert) Curtis, Todd (Gina) Bridigum, Tom (Amber) Anderson and Brent Anderson, grandchildren Crystal Anderson, Michael Anderson, Alyssa Anderson, Carson Bridigum, Andrea Shoemaker and Nathan Timermanis.
Bob received his undergraduate degree from Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA and his advanced degree in physics from Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA.  One of his first jobs was working for NASA helping to develop technology for simulators used to train astronauts.  His career included being director of the Des Moines Science Museum, working in avionics for Honeywell, developing novel technologies for DataCard that allowed printing on plastic (drivers’ licenses, credit cards etc).  At Stratasys, he miniaturized 3D printing from a large Xerox-size machine to desktop size, allowing widespread access for the general public, and finished his career working on security biometrics such as fingerprint capture, facial recognition and iris scan for L1 Technologies. Bob was an avid bicyclist, riding an average of 150 miles each week.  He rode with friends and neighbors nearly every day in both Vero Beach and White Bear Lake, Minnesota where he and Susan spent time each summer.  Last summer, he completed the Register’s Annual Great Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), a ride that attracts over 10,000 riders.  The riders start on the western border of Iowa and over the course of a week, ride to the eastern border and Mississippi River.  He had a ball!
Bob was an accomplished woodworker, using both power and hand tools to create beautiful heirloom pieces for family and loved ones.  He completed a rocking chair for his grandson that won an award in October at the Northern Woods Woodworking Show in Minneapolis, MN.
Friends describe Bob as a kind, friendly, gentle man with an ever present smile and sense of humor.  His laugh was large and contagious!  He made a significant impact on lives around him, from family to friends and neighbors to business colleagues.
