Although it seems like yesterday but 52 years ago when Chris would knock on the door and asked if Gina and Monda could come out and play. Those are the fond days and memories I have of Chris Bradford. We had such a fun childhood together. He was always gentle and respectful to the neighborhood girls. We trusted him like a big brother. Recently we were able to link up again and work together. How Awesome The Lord moves. When I would see him he always put a smile on my face. I will miss him dearly and will always remember him as a true friend. My condolences to Sue and family and my sincere prayers of strength during this untimely passing of your loved one.

Im am so sorry for the families lost. He will be truly missed. I've been at Hollywood as long as "Brad". I will miss seeing him in the halls and his smile...

My deepest condolences to the family of Christopher Bradford. I grew up with Chris and have many many fond memories. I literally saw and played games with Chris on a daily. Some of my most memorable was being chosen by Chris to be on his football team in Lawn Manor. I was a tomboy and loved growing up with young gentlemen who knew how to treat me with Chris being one of those young men. I will cherish the memories because memories never die. I pray for strength, peace and the love of God to protect his family and love ones now and in the days ahead. May Chris rest in heavenly peace!
