Joseph S. Bradley


Granville, New York – Joseph S. Bradley, 70, passed away on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at home with his canine companion by his side.

Joe was born on April 12, 1952, in Saratoga, New York, the son of the late Stanley H. Bradley Sr. and Mable M. (Eaton) Murphy.

He graduated from Hartford Central School in Hartford, New York, Class of 1970.

On Dec. 7, 1991, he married his beloved Eva Jane (Holcomb) Monroe.

Joe had a great sense of humor. He was a very strong-willed man who could manage most things on his crutches that others did on two legs. He was always up for the challenge.

He had a great love for collecting and playing guitars, always looking to jam or entertain whenever possible. He acquired several special friends he thought of as family. He enjoyed collecting trains and setting up his train board.

In addition to his parents, Joe was predeceased by his wife Eva, his son Christopher, his sister April and his brother Levi Andrews.

Left to cherish his memory are his daughter Lisa Clogston (Marc); his grandsons Dion Clogston and Marc Clogston; great-granddaughters Lillie Bullard and Kadince Clogston; siblings Nina Shaw (David), Barbara Roberts (Thomas), Stephanie Sousie, Stanley Bradley Jr. (Miki), Scott Bradley (Diane) and William Bradley as well as several nieces and nephews and his wife Eva’s children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Joe will be deeply missed.
