John Bradley was born Oct 29, 1925 in San Bernardino, died at age 87 living in Dolan Springs AZ. His wife Jeanne passed in 1998. He is survived by his son Frank Bradley in AZ, & a daughter, Lori Holt living in CA. He has 5 grandchildren, Mona & Travis Bradley from CA & Nicky, Holly & Tiger Holt from CA. John was a WWII Navy Veteran & a 60 year member of NHRA & the drag racing community, achieving induction into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 1994. His final resting place will be Riverside National VA Cemetery, he will be interred next to Jeanne with a Military ceremony, Friday, Dec. 14.
Bradley was the legendary flathead drag racer and record-holder in the mid-fifties, and, I believe, was partnered with Bud Morrell (?) in land speed racing. Please feel free to correct me on this.
Interested Bystander built his last dragster which is currently being restored.
