Steven T. Delbridge, lecturer in management, died Dec. 9 of a heart attack. He was 74 years old.

Delbridge joined the campus in 1978 and taught management and law for 29 years. Earlier this year, he brought former Angeles general manager Bill Stoneman to campus to discuss “The Business of Baseball.”          

Delbridge learned the value of a college education early, dropping out of high school but later earning his GED. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in physics from American International College, a juris doctorate from Western State University College of Law and a master of science in taxation from Golden Gate University.

Prior to joining Cal State Fullerton, he worked in aerospace as an engineering instructor on the ATLAS ICBM for General Dynamics and as an engineer on the Boeing’s Minuteman missile guidance and control systems. He practiced law for more than 30 years.

He is survived by his wife, Hazel, and eight children.
