Dear Jane, family, Richard, and Barry,
Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing into eternal peace of Robert. We may not have kept in touch throughout the years but Bobby was always kind whenever we would see each other. He was an amazing man. He fought a great battle with cancer for a long time. I have fond memories of him and our family at the gatherings at Hidden Lake Camp. Love to all, cousin Liz and family
My condolences to the entire Bradway family. Having worked with Bob for many years I learned a lot from him, and he taught me things that made me a better person. He was the best boss, person, and always talked about how proud he was of his family. It was truly an honor to know Bob and all he did for other people. He will be sorely missed. God Bless
