Stephen W. Bradley Jr. ’71

Body

Steve Bradley died Nov. 23, 1996, at his home in Towson, Md., after fighting a brain tumor diagnosed a few months before his death. He was 47.

Steve attended Skaneateles [N.Y.] H.S, where he was valedictorian. He received his Princeton degree in electrical engineering and computer science. He was a member of Cloister Inn and spent a lot of time with classmates Mike Epstein, Ken Griffin, and John Plante. Steve played clarinet in the band.

He earned a master's in electrical engineering in 1973 from Johns Hopkins U., where he was a doctoral candidate. He was principal owner of MMS Systems in Towson and was involved in many projects for the Dept. of the Treasury, Allied Signal, Bendix Corp., and Applied Expertise of Falls Church, Va.

Steve loved the outdoors, particularly swimming, water skiing, and tennis, and enjoyed traveling to national parks and vacationing at his summer home overlooking the lake at Skaneateles. Steve's love of eating was legendary. His friendship and sense of humor will be sorely missed.

Surviving are his brother, Dickinson S. Bradley, and two sisters, Helena Steates and Susan Winston Bradley. The class extends sincere sympathy to Steve's family and friends.
