Patrick Bradley
The family of Patrick Bradley sadly announce his passing at the age of 74 on April 8, 2012 at Bonavista Hospital. Egbert Patrick James Bradley was born on June 12, 1937, in Eastport, NL. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Kenneth and Irene Bradley, brothers Ray and Ken, sisters Phyllis and Marjorie as well as spouses Genevieve White, Marjorie Norris and Melva Bradley (Mathers). He is survived by siblings Lorna Stuckless (Gord), Helene Osmond (Jim), Bill (Sandra) and 6 children: Patrica Hewitt (Keith), Michael, Sandra Bradley-Whitter (Greg), Gordon (Shannon), Ken (Jo-Anne) & Robert (Linda); grandchildren Matthew, Jamye, Ryan, Jacob, Sam, Kaitlyn, Rachel, Sarah, Joshua, Noah & Isabelle and great-grandchildren Chloe & Ethan. He will be missed by fellow residents and staff of Bonavista Retirement Center, especially Eva. A proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he served for 14 years, he later became known best for his self-taught watch repair and clock craftsmanship. While living in Eastport he was an active member of the Lions Club, the Town Council and the Royal Canadian Legion. Family and friends will remember his enjoyment of fishing, boxing, painting, and horses, his love of North Side Beach and especially his fond memories of his time on motorcycles. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to the nursing staff at Bonavista Hospital who cared for him with compassion and an appreciation of his sense of humour. They made his last home as warm and comfortable as possible. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Kidney Foundation.
