James Riley Bradshaw, Jr. was born November 6, 1929 in Kansas City, Kansas to James Riley Bradshaw, Sr. and Charlene Morgan Bradshaw, who both preceded him in death. Early on the morning of March 12, 2013, James was called home to be with the Lord. James attended and was a graduate from the Kansas City School System in Kansas City, Kansas. From 1948 to 1968, James served in the United States Army as a Morse Code Radio Operator.

One of James favorite hobby was traveling. James and his lovely wife Katherine "Ms. Kitty from Kansas City" would pack up their RV and travel from state to state, from city to city touring and visiting family and friends. It gave him great joy spending "honeymoon time" with the woman he loved. James is survived by his wife Katherine E. Bradshaw; four children: James Bradshaw III (Beverly), Janet Bradshaw Elliott (Will), Janeice Bradshaw and Jay Eric Bradshaw; one sister: Marie Bradshaw King; one sister-in-law: Helen Everett Sims; seven grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, and church family and friends.

This is several years later but I remember the great times I had with my buddy JR. Talking on our radios in our ham radio hobby and working with computers. JR and Miss Kitty were really wonderful friends to me. I was still on active duty at that time. I will see you again my good friend, I know I will. Rest in Peace.

I express my sympathies to the Bradshaw family. I first met Jim back in the early 70's when we both worked at the Federal Reserve Bank. (downtown) Jim also helped me setup my first CB radio in my pickup truck. May you rest in peace, JR.
