My thoughts and prayers are with the Bradley family. I played football for Jake, as about half of Lake City did, in the 60's. I can say without hesitation how much I love Jake. It was easy to love him because he always showed his love and concern for us as young men. Even after he "retired" and I was grown he had that same warm smile and greeting when I saw him standing at the door in Lowes when he was a greeter.
His work ethic, morals and compassion have helped guide me my entire life. Rest in Peace my friend.
