Joseph Liguori BRADLEY

Although only recently hearing of Joe's (Father McKenzie) passing, I was saddened. Having had the great joy and privilege of travelling with Joe to Africa, many memories survive that adventure. Although working for a competitor, he was so open and welcoming I felt like we'd known each other a long time. Teasing back and forth as to who was or was not "lace-curtain" Irish was only a wee bit of our banter. His stories were legendary.

Go Raibh Suaimhneas Síoraí Air -"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace".
Joe was a true gentleman.

I will never forget Joe's smile and his hugs! When I was a young Global Sales person for Hyatt he welcomed me into the Maritz family as if it was his own. He always had a funny story to tell and never met a stranger. When I came to visit Maritz he always wanted to see how I was doing personally and made me feel so much a part of the team. What a bright light!

I worked with Joe in the late 80's/early 90's at Maritz Travel. Beyond his genuine interest in people and their stories, Joe's memory was striking. Suppliers would visit the campus and Joe could remember their name, when and where he had last seen them and often what they had eaten at a dinner many years earlier. While Alzheimer's is a terrible disease for anyone, it's particularly sad to think of Joe robbed of what many of us considered his superpower. I will miss this kind man and hope the rich stories of his life provide comfort to his family and friends at this time.

With warmest thoughts and prayers for you and your family. God is Mighty to heal.

My sincere condolences

My Deepest Sympathy , to the Family, Don

God rest his soul,may he rest in peace.

I will always remember Joe & his warm smile. He was a tower of support when I was starting my career. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Joe was a very pleasant person to be around. His smile was so contagious! Our love to his family. May God comfort you, encourage you with His unfailing love.

Joe was a kind, helpful man who was always smiling. He seemed happy around the clock at work or aftera wonderful person with a great spirit about him whom I will always remember fondly.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Joe once when he came to the DB Branch to visit Anne. I do remember his wonderful Irish brogue and the twinkle in his eyes!
My heartfelt condolences to all of his loved ones. --Rose

God speed cousin Joe

Whenever I saw Joe at CPC he had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. I will miss seeing him and want to let you know that I’m so sorry for your loss.

Although I didn’t have a lot of interaction with Mr. Bradley, the times I did were memorable as he was an extraordinary storyteller and gifted at making people feel welcome. And I’ll never forget the picture of him with the Beatles that used to live on the basement wall. My condolences and prayers are with you all.

I’m so very sorry for your loss Joe was very sweet always full of smiles thought and prayers are with all of you .

Sending sympathy & hugs Betty & family. Cousin Joe was a special person and I’ll definitely miss him and the stories he shared about his Ireland.

So sorry to hear this about Joe. Joe was a dear man who taught me so much about how to treat people, work hard and enjoy life. Condolences to Betty and all who loved him, I am sorry that I am out of the country until the 20th and cannot attend the funeral. RIP to a great man.

Betty and Family, so sorry for your loss. I know we only knew Joe a short time but his smile and happy disposition will have a lasting memory in our hearts. Prayers for you and your family.

Joe was a great friend and made my day whenever I saw him. He will be greatly missed. He loved to sing and tell stories.

I always enjoyed seeing Joe. We were a couple of Catholic guys with Baptist wives.

It’s been years since I left Maritz Travel but Joe was the VP over my department in my last role there. Such a delightful person; he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. I could spend hours talking to him - he will be missed!

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. This world will never know a more gentle, kind, and caring person! May God bless the entire Bradley family during this difficult time!

The smile Joe shared with everyone he met will now make heaven even brighter. His choir friends who have gone before him will sing his welcome. May God grant him eternal peace.

We have such fond memories of Joe. A gracious human being who always had a twinkle in his eye. Our prayers are with his family.

Con and I are very sorry for your loss. Joe lived an amazing life. We will miss him in the world. Some of our most companionable times were with him and Betty. Four or was it five tea bags in a pot of tea. I drank so much caffeine at a brunch at your home once that I could feel it crawling up my spine. So much laughter and so many stories that day. Glad we had a moment with you all on our covid RV trip west. Thinking of you.

I remember going with Joe to a sales presentation. He was the destination expert. I don’t remember if we sold the business. I remember having one of the most meaningful, memorable conversations of my life with him on the plane. A caring and most magical man. So glad our paths crossed.

A great boss who will be missed! Love you Joe!

Great human and boss! Very sad! Love and warmth to family!

Joe was a wonderful friend and neighbor for many years. I enjoyed his smile, his sense of humor and colorful stories, especially of the homeland, Ireland. It was fun sharing meals and neighborly chats , enjoying him as he took a stroll, mowed the lawn, etc. He was greatly loved and he will be greatly missed. See you one day again Joe! Love to Betty and the kids and grandkids!

Joe I remember the smile in your eyes and your deep love for your precious Betty.
Betty I am here for you dear Sister in Our Lord Jesus ✝♥

Joe was a sweet, humorous man who always had a twinkle in his eye to go with his Irish heritage. We were blessed to get to know Betty and Joe as neighbors, and kept in touch after they moved not too far away. Many will miss him and his sense of humor. Rest in peace, Joe!
Love,
Judy and John Piet

Mr. Bradley was a favorite of mine! Often on campus to support his children, his magnificent smile and captivating wit always brightened my day. My deepest sympathy to the family; our world has lost a beautiful Irish smile.
