Gordon Bradley
July 9, 1921 — January 18, 2011
Gordon “Bud” Bradley, age 89, left this earth to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, at Bella Vista Manor in Oshkosh, WI.
Bud was born on July 9, 1921, in the Town of Omro, to Roy and Mayme (Thrall) Bradley. He graduated from Omro High School. Bud met Betty Lou Fisher at a dance in Fairwater and on October 26, 1946 they married. They made their home on their dairy farm in the Town of Omro and lived there their entire married life. Bud made his living farming until he was elected to the Wisconsin State Legislature as State Representative. He spent many hours campaigning and participating in local parades and events in his white 1970 Cadillac convertible. Bud was very proud of the many bills that he helped create, his most popular being the “right turn, no stop” bill. He served his district faithfully for twenty years. Bud loved hunting and fishing, walking through his woods and playing with his tractors. He was always a farmer at heart. For the past twenty five years, Bud and Betty Lou spent their winters in N. Ft. Myers, Florida. They spent their time at the flea markets and antiquing. They loved being snowbirds. Bud and Betty Lou spent sixty four wonderful years together.
Survivors include one daughter, LuAnn (Jim) Ruby of Oshkosh, WI; three grandsons, Clayton Ruby of Madison, WI, Cole (Kristin) Ruby of Madison, WI and Kevin Ruby of Oshkosh, WI; sister, Lucille Anderson of Neenah, WI and two sisters-in-law, Gwendolyn Pahl and Annagene Priske of Ripon, WI. Bud is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Lou, who passed away on March 21, 2010; grandson, Grant Gordon Ruby; parents, Roy and Mayme Bradley and sisters, Hazel Gruetzmacher and Gladys VanDeHey.
Visitation for Bud will be held on Friday, January 21, 2011, from 10 – 11:00 am at Countryside Christian Church, 1483 Burr Oak Rd. Oshkosh, WI 54904 (corner of Burr Oak and Hwy 44).
Funeral Service for Bud will be held on Friday, January 21, 2011, at 11:00 am at Countryside Christian Church. Reverend Gregory Carson Decker will officiate. Interment will follow at Tice Cemetery adjoining the family farm in the Town of Omro. A memorial is being established.
The family would like to thank Bella Vista Manor and Heartland Hospice and especially Laura Smith for the love and support they have given Bud this past year.
