I was one of the lucky men to have become Masons during Milt Bradley’s term as Master. He is remembered with warmth and respect. I am proud to have been his Brother. Ed Lawson, Chaplain, Frederick-Franklin Lodge #14, Plainville
To Doris: Nick and I feel your sorrow at the loss of good old Eddie. You were there for him when everybody else was not, and for that, he had to have been eternally grateful. He will watch over you from Heaven. Love, Barb and Nick
When I was raised a Master Mason in 1963, WB Bradley was in attendance. He, like Ernie Goodyear, Bob George, and Ed Stannard, were the Masons I looked up to, especially during my years in DeMolay. Wor. Bro. Bradley had a great deal of dignity in his Lodge work, and at the same time, was most approachable to us young Masons. He was, as we would say, a .class act., and a fine Mason. I just found this notice of his passing, some six hours after the ceremony. Had I known earlier, I would have been honored to attend. Rest assured that he is in my thoughts and prayers. I have been enriched by my association with him. We thank you, his family, for sharing you with us. Fraternally, Ed Lawson [Annawon, ’63] Chaplain, Frederick-Franklin Lodge #14, Plainville.
