I will always remember the fun and laughter at the Bradley house in Indiana. Always good food, and everyone was always welcome. The Bradley family never met a stranger and treated everyone as a part of thier family. We were all Ken and Brenda's children. We will miss you. My prayers are with your wonderful family.

Just the other day, I believe it was last Saturday, I saw a house and told my wife how it reminded me of the home the Bradleys lived in on Bonnycastle. It was one of those moments when I remembered a lot of fun times with Heather, Shawn, Rocky as we tormented their parents. Brenda and Ken seemed to be two of the coolest parents in the area. My heart goes out to you all during your time of loss. God bless you all during this holiday season. Be strong in your faith and love for one another.

The Bradleys are like a second family to me. I am so happy to have known Ken and am very sad about his passing away. He was a great man...ALWAYS made me smile. I will never forget the countless hours I spent in the basement of his home with Shawn and Heather and Corey. He would always come down and I always thought he was the "coolest dad". And that he was. I will miss you Ken but will never, ever forget you.

My deepest sympathies to Ken's family. I worked with Ken at Philip Morris. We would often meet at the downtown Y to play racquet ball, and he would always beat my butt. He will be missed but also remembered.

Ken is a wonderful brother, son, father, grandfather and friend. He shares an amazing sense of humor with our mother. I remember the long hours spent watching him play baseball and football. I could never misbehave too much because no matter where I went as a child I would hear the question, you have to be a Bradley and aren't you Ken Bradley's siser?

I will miss seeing his grandchildren light up at the sound of his voice, and going absolutely crazy upon seeing him.

His children are a wonderful reflection of the man he is... Rocky, Heather and Shawn... so much love and such truly good people. He loves them so much and I know appreciates his friends and family being there for them at this time.

Jayne, thank you so much for taking care of Ken during his fight. I know it was so hard... but I know that mom too appreciates you taking care of her boy.

I am with you all in spirit, even though I cannot be there.

Love Rii

Jayne:
My deepest sympathies on the loss of Ken. Ken always had a smile and hello for his neighbors. I know what it is like to lose a spouse, but I did not have to watch him suffer. I cannot imagine that pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jane,

I was deeply saddened to read about Ken. I enjoyed the many times I got to work with him at Philip Morris. I will remember most his sense of humor and big smile. He always made the job fun.
