Farewell toa Sailor The Marine Historical Society of Detroit lost a great friend and de- voted worker with the death Sept. 13 of Albert Bradley. A two-term president of the Society, he served until shortly before his death as an advisory council member and had arranged many of the Society's most enjoyable cruises. Whenever there was work to be done, Al could be counted on to lend a willing hand. Boats and boat riding were the great joys of his retirement and he could be found on any cruise of Society members or on his own with his wife, Alma, on the Georgian Bay or even up the Inside Passage to Alaska. He rode so often with his good friend, Capt. John Leonard, on the latter's sandsucker, the CHARLES DICK, that he was laughingly called the most faithful member of her crew. During a trip on the Bob-Lo boat the discussion turned to cremation with the ashes scattered on the water. Bradley remarked that, "I'd like that." It was a simple statement that Alma kept in her heart and, when the sad time came, she carried out Al's wishes. With the cooperation of Al's old friends. at the J. We Westcott Co., and funeral director, Don Graham, Mrs. Bradley and their daughters, Marian and Mrs. Jean Patterson, accompanied Al's ashes out onto the Detroit River in the mailboat, J. W. WESTCOTT II, with Capt. William Adamek at the helm. Out on the river he loved, the urn was opened and Al's ashes swirled down to mingle forever with the waters.
