Paul Wenzel Bradbury ’38

Body

Paul Bradbury died Mar. 17, 1999, at his home in Linwood, N.J. He is survived by his wife, Gladys, his son, Paul Jr., a stepdaughter, and two stepsons.

After preparing at Bronxville [N.Y.] H.S., where he was on the football team, athletic manager of football and baseball, and on the school newspaper board, Paul was on the Princeton 150-pound crew squad in our freshman year, and later on the Daily Princetonian editorial board, and active in Theatre Intime. He majored first in history, later in English

After World War II, Paul worked for CAA and FAA as an air traffic controller in Washington, Detroit, and Guam. He spent his last career years at the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City. He retired in 1985. His wife says that his main outside activity was reading, which he did extensively, and that he was not especially interested in social functions of any sort

Paul was a very likable man and we are saddened to lose him. The class belatedly extends its deep sympathy to his wife and children.
