Robert Bradford
Posted Jun 9, 2020 | 2:44 PM
Robert “Bob” Angus Bradford was born on Saturday, May 15, 1937 in Saltcoats, SK, to Alexander and Jeanne (Rogers). He was the youngest of 9 children; 6 brothers and 2 sisters. Bob married Helen “May” Oliver on July 4, 1959. They began their married life together in Hinton, AB, where Bob was working for the Pulp and Paper Mill.
In 1968, Bob, May, and their young girls moved to Prince Albert, SK, as Bob was hired to help start up the Pulp and Paper Mill there. Many friends were made on 3rd Street East, where they planted roots for 52 years, and at the Golf and Curling Club.
The family spent summers camping and fishing on the lakes of Northern Saskatchewan. They also enjoyed holidays back to the mountains, trips to Crystal Lake, and family golf tournaments at Saltcoats. Many campfires and fish fries, and maybe a whiskey or two, were had with good friends and family.
Bob retired from the Pulp Mill in 1994. At that time, he and May decided to head south for the winters, so they could golf and enjoy warmer weather. They spent most of their time in Texas, where they made many good friends.
In the last few years Bob struggled with his short term memory, but it never robbed him of his spirit. He still always remembered his loved ones and never forgot an old friend.
Bob was a kind and generous man, well respected by everyone who knew him. He loved unconditionally and will be lovingly missed by his wife of 60 years, May; his daughters, Lori Bradford (Bernie), Sandra Trenerry (Wayne); his grandchildren, Jeanine (Ian), Robby (Jessica), Jennifer (Chris), Bradford, Carter and Calista; and his great-grandchildren, Kaden, Taylor, Dylan, Austin, Wynter, Lucas and Harmony. A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at 2:00 p.m., on Saturday, June 13, 2020, at Prince Albert Memorial Gardens, to view the service, please join the Zoom Meeting at:
