Carl BRADLEY Obituary
Tragically and suddenly on Thursday, 27th May 2021 at Wainuiomata Dojo aged 52. Beloved son of Joy and Alan Papprill. Much loved partner of Aida and amazing father of Joshua and Shahade. Brother of Jacqui, Rachel, Rebecca and Meredith. Brother-in-law of Andrew, Matthew and Peter. Admired uncle to Reuben, Benjamin, Jasmine, Kirsten, Holly, Hope, Josiah, Eden, Kai, Alastair and Georgia. Adored Grandfather of Oceana, Maisey, Nyjah and Luna. There is not one single person in Carl's wide circle of friends, students and acquaintances whose lives haven't been touched by him. He had a strong, but gentle, soul with uncompromising values who stood for what was right and spoke for justice for all. In lieu of flowers, donations to C.A.R.T., Women's Refuge or Shakti would be appreciated and may be left at the service. A service to celebrate Carl's life will be held on Wednesday, 2nd June at Wellington Dojo, 132 Hutt Road, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington at 10.30am.

From the Committee and Members of Clan Macdonald, Yarraville - we send our heart-felt condolences and sympathy to Carl's family, to all Clan Donald members and friends. Carl was as large as life and had so very much to give. We know how sadly he will be missed by you all. Some are just taken from us far too early. We in Australia will miss Carl too. I can see more than hear, the sentiment and love for Carl in the service. I would love to have been with you all today. Tom Macdonald - Clan Chief.

Our thoughts go out to all of Carl's family and friends at this very sad time.
Carl was very much part of our family for over three decades.
A friend that always kept in touch and visited regularly regardless of how far he had to travel.
Will be sadly missed by all.

The student of CRIM326 sends Dr Bradley's family our condolences. He was an amazing teacher that made learning exciting and he taught many of us to not only believe in ourselves but to love our degree. As third years we will continue to honour his legacy when we all walk across the stage as many of us would have not made it without Carl. You will be missed dearly in the criminology department. And we thank you for guiding us through a difficult paper and making it enjoyable.

I am very sad to hear about this. I was fortunate to know Carl in my capacity as a member of the History Programme at Massey University. Carl taught 148.114 Making new Zealand for me one semester when I was on research leave. We had many discussions about history and possible outlets for publishing his work. Carl's book Outlaw Bikers and Ancient Warbands will be published in August, a fitting tribute to his scholarship. Carl was a compassionate man who at one point combined his scholarly career with coordinating caregiving for people in need. He will be greatly missed.
