 Bobby
Leigh Bradley, 69, passed away on March 25,
2012, at Boundary Community Hospital in Bonners
Ferry. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday,
April 21, at Bonners Ferry Funeral Home.
Bobby Leigh Bradley was the youngest son of
Marion H. and Eunice M. Bradley. He was preceded
in death by two sisters, Ellen N. Schoenwald of
Nampa, Idaho, and Neva Jean Mills of Bonners
Ferry, as well as two brothers, Claude O.
Bradley of Spokane and Lawrence R. Bradley of
Kirkland, Washington. He is survived by numerous
nieces and nephews, and their respective
families.
Bob graduated from Bonners Ferry High School in
1961. He served in the United States Navy from
1964 through 1968. Trained as a jet engine
mechanic, he served as plane captain for the
Navy’s F-4B Phantom fighter jet. He served
multiple deployments in the Vietnam combat
theater with Navy fighter squadron VF-151,
aboard the USS Coral Sea and the USS
Constellation.
After leaving the Navy in 1968, he spent
approximately 15 years in the Boise/Nampa area,
where he worked as an electrical mechanic and
automotive mechanic for local businesses.
When his parents became ill, Bob returned to
Bonners Ferry.
He commuted to Honeywell’s metal processing
company in Spokane Valley daily for more than
twenty years, while looking after both parents.
At Honeywell, Bob was responsible for milling
the metal processing equipment which produced
exotic metals for use in electronics worldwide.
Bob retired from Honeywell on his 62nd birthday.
Until his illness forced him to curb his
activities, he enjoyed hunting, shooting and
“cruising around” in his jeep.
He was a private person with a big heart.
Whenever anyone in the family needed help, Bob
was right there to help out. We will miss him.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of
