Mr. Bradish was my driver and teacher. I remember one day we were in the car and I was driving and one of the boys that were in the back kept harassing me and laughing. He got me so boggled that instead of putting my foot on the break, I put my foot on the gas and went up on the curb. Mr. Bradish told me not to worry I was doing good and when we got back To school, he reprimanded my harasser. I Appreciated that so much because I was at the point of tears in that car. RIP To a fine man.

My former Driver Ed teacher, who scared the you know what out of me! Later in life, we worked at the District Office, where I got to know him personally. Jack was a good guy, special in his own way, and funny and a regular guy. He always visited the District Office after he retired to say hello . Jack was a character, and fun to work with. My sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.

Jack would always try to scare us by jumping out from behind doors or anywhere he could. One day, while he was walking through the office, I heard him coming and ducked down to grab his ankle and scare him back! He screamed and laughed so hard. It was great. I have many fond memories working with him and sharing many good times. He was always funny, sweet and well
Loved! You will be missed, Jack! RIP and watch over your family and friends in your new heavenly home!
