James Edward Bradley, 92, of Monte Vista Colorado was welcomed into heaven August 9, 2022, after quietly succumbing to the rigors of a long life, well spent. Jim was born April 30, 1930, to Jess E. and Sarah (Kennedy) Bradley in Stillwater, Oklahoma. After graduating from Stillwater High School, Jim enlisted in the Oklahoma National Guard, serving during the Korean War, where he rose as an 18-year-old to the rank of staff sergeant. Following an honorable discharge, Jim returned to Stillwater to marry Nora Lee Blankenship also of Stillwater, and to attend Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) under the GI Bill.
