Daddy,
I'm so thankful to have had you in my life as long as I did. Even though you had girls you were never afraid to let us try whatever we wanted to do.
I remember going with you to cut wood and you letting all of us kids have a turn with the chain saw. It was incredible, we thought we were something.
I remember the time you cut the top off a corvair and we went riding in it that night with Me, Leigh, Gene and Marty sitting on the trunk with our feet in the hole behind the back seat.
We thought that was the coolest thing ever. And what about the mini bike you got for us? You rode it first to see what it was like and it left you flat on your back in the road in front of the house? :) You sold it then, so we wouldn't kill ourselves. Oh Gosh, what about the pinto hood you got for us to sleigh ride on? It took all four of us just to pull it back up the hill!
I always had a good time with you, going to the shredder, working in the garage, going to the races, roller skating or just listening to your stories. I'll really miss the stories and your smile.
I never got to tell you that I was proud of you and I was always proud that you were my daddy.
Daddy, you're just like the trucks you've always had, a true classic! :)
I love you and will miss you until we meet again on the other side.
Your daughter, Carla

Daddy,It seems like only yesterday that I was a kid and you would build a go-cart or something for us to ride, and we would tear up the roads of Eagle Rock, wear it out an you would build something else, I remember the toy cars an trucks an bows an arrows an rifles an such that you would make for us out of wood, an we would paint them or detail them with magic markers, I remember that you could fix anything an everything, when one of us would get scratched up you would put a band aid on it an say awww you will be ok, and I always took your word on that, and I always was! I never realized just how much you taught me until I need to fix something or make something out of nothing, and i'm glad I paid attention even when you thought I didn't, these years have flown by, an we sure did have some good times, and im sure they will continue when we are together once again....with love always....Leigh

Dear Bradley Family,
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time of sorrow. May God bless, sustain, and comfort you now and in the days ahead. We are here on this earth for a moment in time as the candle of life burns, flickers, and then fades into eternity but the memories of those precious moments in time never go away and we are left to cherish them. My family, I love all of you and pray for God's love to console and bless you. I understand your sadness and pain but time will heal the suffering until it is bearable again. With deepest sympathy, I send you my love. I do care and if you need me, please let me know.
Your Cousin,
Linda
