Norman Bradley

2006-09-28 by tronbros@aol.com

Dear All,

John's Uncle Norman, the last of the Bradley bothers died this afternoon at the tender age of 84. He had suffered as stroke a couple of weeks back and was hospital bound as a result. Norman also had Parkinson's Disease and the future looked a little bleak.

He was a gentle chap, always the gentleman and also the naughty uncle that used to whisk John off for some beer at lunchtimes back in the heady days of the Streetly factory. He was excited about the upsurge in mellotron activity and we were looking forward to showing him the M4000. Ah well....not to be. I met him only once but we had a couple of conversations by phone over the years. He was a nice bloke.

Best,

Martin

Sad day Martin. Give my best wishes to JB at this difficult time. Shame Norman didn't get to see the m4000

I'm sure he would have been proud.

Cheers.

Sad new indeed, Martin.

It's a bitch growing older. Please extend Karen's an my condolences to John and his family.
