A big THANK YOU to all our service people who have fought bravely and made this country a safe place to live.  Many condolences for those who did not make it, but gave it their best to do what was right to bring peace to us all.  We live free because of these brave heros.

It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of John Robert Bradford, Class of '67 and my ex- husband who some of you may remember. He was born in Toledo, but lived in Oklahoma City, OK where he died peacefully on May 16 at age 74.   

He was the brother of Barbara Meyers (Bradford) and Brenda Grodi (Bradford). 

He is survived by his daughter, Kristin Leigh Hoff (Bradford) of Durango, CO and Brendan Kyle Bradford of Oklahoma City, OK.  He was also grandfather to Alexis Kristina Hoff, Abigail Elizabeth Hoff and Ashleigh Diane Hoff of Durango, CO.  He was uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.  

John was preceded in death by his parents and older brother James Frederick Bradford. 

He was a petroleum landman for many years and traveled the country for his work. In his younger days he was an avid scuba diver, snow skier and handyman.  And he was a jokester.
His humor and kindness will be missed.  ❤️

I didn't know how to post this on the website for the Class of '67, so I posted it here. Maybe someone will know how to do that and pass it on.  If that happens, I thank you in advance.

WOW, Is right!  I'm with Nancy's post!

Diane - Thank you for posting.  I seem to remember a picture in the yearbook of you two dancing together.  We are losing far too many but it's not up to us.

I also graduated from college on June 10th and realized the coincidence when looking at diplomas. Also, I went to 3 schools whose colors were green and white. And while in grad school I used to challenge people to sing the MSU fight song. I was always the only one who actually knew the words because I learned it when I was in Start's choir. A fun party trick after a few drinks...

Pam Galbraith (Hudson)

Hi Debbie!

Glad to see that you graduated from college on June 10th too. I graduated from BGSU on June 10th 1972.  June 10th for me saw 3 graduations: grade school, high school and college. Funny how some things happen. Have a GREAT day!!!

Pam, 

John Lipski

Thanks for the birthday greetings (on Father's Day this year, just like when I was born). After 50 years of university teaching and research, June 30 will be my last day. "Professor emeritus" sounds really fancy, but it just means another old goat out to pasture. It was a good run (even as just another brick in the wall), but you retired folks had the right idea all along.

Best wishes to all for health and happiness.

Elizabeth Bachman (Bachman)

Congratulations John! Retirement is wonderful. Jubilado right? Enjoy every day. 

Walter "Chip" Carstensen

Congrats John on a great career!  You have achieved so much and we are proud of you! Enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Marcia Kelso (Wilkinson)

Holy Toledo - 50 years!  That's some career.  Congratulations on your decision to become an "Emeritus" and enjoy your retirement.  I think you've deserved it.  

Janis Fought (Brown)

George Koinis

Congratulations John on both your long and distinguished career and your retirement. More time to play guitar! Go ride the music!

Steve Harpold

Congratulations John! Have a wonderful retirement.

Gary Johnson

Congratulations John. Retirement is the reward we get for a lifetime of hard work.

Greetings,

Rick Boyd

Congrats John. Wasn't that long ago you were singing in a rock band wearing a bucket hat. Enjoy yourself in retirement
