Joseph A. Bradford Sr.'s Obituary
Joseph "Joe" A. Bradford, Sr. of Lewes, DE passed away suddenly on April 16, 2018 at the age of 58. He ended his time on this earth doing what he enjoyed and excelled at; making houses into homes. Joe was born in Chester, PA on December 2, 1959 and grew up in Claymont before residing in Lewes, DE for the remainder of his life.
A selfless man with a big heart, Joe would go out of his way to help anyone in need, from strangers to family. Having sons in the Army and Marines, he devoted time and energy to many military causes close to his heart including the Chad Clifton Foundation and Home of the Brave. In his free time, you could find him at his favorite fishing spot or riding around backroads with his loving wife.
Joe will be sadly missed by his wife Patricia Bradford; 8 children: Joey Jr, Laura, Dustin, Crystal, Billy, Jessie, Lynn, and Quinten; his 12 grandchildren; and countless friends.
