Joseph M. Bradley unexpectedly died October 13, 2024, at the age of 75, at his home in Philadelphia, PA. Joseph, better known as "Joe," "Mr. Bradley," and "Poppie," was born December 10, 1948, in Philadelphia to Clayton and Marion Bradley.

He was a dreamer, a staple in his neighborhood, a friendly face, a Philly sports enthusiast, a reader, and a music lover. Despite being colorblind, he even had a fine love for art - specifically anything Van Gogh. He was constantly a support system to all his loved ones and their different interests.

He attended North Catholic High School in Philadelphia. He married his sweetheart Maria Bradley at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church, and they built a large family together. After serving as a prison guard, then U.S. Marshal, he spent many years behind the wheel as a limo driver.

He is survived by his wife, Maria, of 56 years of marriage; two daughters and son, Doreen, Nicholl, and Joey; sister, Donna (Ray); brother, Tommy (Beth); grandchildren, Amber, Nik, Brooke, Brinn, Joseph, and Grant; great grandchildren, Magdalena and Violet.
