John Eldon Bradley
Our dear daddy, John Eldon Bradley, 92 years young, went home to heaven on Sunday, July 14, 2019. He was an Eagle Scout, WWII Navy veteran, barber, tool and die maker (owner of John Bradley Products), inventor (two patents awarded), Awana commander, ordained deacon, lover of coffee and doughnuts (Thomas's Donuts!) defender of Christianity, opinionated...lol, with a heart to help others; he loved conversations, sitting in his garden of flowers, and sunshine. We know Jesus gave him a big hug...and daddy...we will see you one day. Until then, we will endeavor to love and honor, so that you and Jesus smile.

John is survived by his wife of 61 years, Ruth Ann Irvine Bradley; three children, Cheryl Lynn Wynn, William Walter Bradley (Brenda), Barbara Jean Gossage (Steve); eight grandchildren, Natalie Couch (Tim), Stephanie Wynn, Rachael Watson (Blake), Lisa Bradley, Sarah Bradley, Rebecca Gossage, Peter Gossage (Jeri), Mark Gossage and John's sister, Viola McDaniel. Graveside services will be held on Thursday at 12 noon EDT in the Tallahassee National Cemetery, Tallahassee, FL. The family will receive friends at the Wilson Funeral Home on Thursday from 8-8:30 a.m. A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Cornerstone Baptist Church, Panama City Beach.
