James Bradwell

James "Jim" Bradwell
James "Jim" Bradwell, aged 79 years, of Albany, New York passed away on Sunday, September
28h at 5:00 am, of natural causes, at Hudson Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Albany,
NY.
Jim was born on September 17, 1945 in Albany, NY, where he was raised and resided. He
attended Our Lady of Angels School, then the former Cathedral High School, graduating in
1963. He attended college classes at Hudson Valley Community College.
Jim retired as an employee of New York State, where he was a Senior Supervisor in the NYS
Education Department mailroom.
He is survived by his loving sisters, Rosemary Hall of Groton, Connecticut and Carol Bradwell of
Albany, New York, and will be greatly mourned by many cousins, nephews and nieces and
friends. He has been preceded in death by his parents, George Bradwell, Sr. and Helen Bolaski
Bradwell, and by siblings George Bradwell, Jr. and Sheila Bradwell.
James was an avid outdoorsman and expert fisherman, winning many awards and setting many
records, and was featured in various fishing periodicals over many years. Though he enjoyed
classic Hollywood films, of which he possessed a comprehensive knowledge, his true avocation
was summed up on an often-worn fishing cap which reads "Born To Fish, Forced To Work."
Visitation hours will be held Tuesday, October 29, 2024 4:00PM to 6:00PM at Meyers Funeral Home, 741 Delaware Avenue,
Delmar New York 12054. Interment will be conducted privately for family members at Lake
Sacandaga, New York, at a day and time to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in James' memory may be directed to the Doris Day
Animal Fund, of which he was a lifelong supporter.
