| Bill and Connie Bradley. |
Bill Bradley, 1933-2008
Bill Bradley joined the Sierra Club in 1969 after remarking at the
beauty of the mountains in California. A Connecticut native, Bill
moved to Whittier, CA in 1966 and immediately began hiking and
trekking in the San Bernardino
range. Looking for a wider and
higher venue for his beloved
climbing Bill struck upon the
Sierras and presto a love affair
was born. He set about climbing
all the peaks on the Sierra
Peaks Section list and the Desert
Peaks Section list.
His great love of the mountains
and wilderness areas, in
the Sierra and elsewhere, was
a catharsis for Bill who often said, “After my family, there is nowhere
else I would rather spend my time.”
Bill led numerous climbs, in both Sierra Club Sections, and assisted
on many others.
He summitted Mt. Whitney three times and climbed extensively in
Washington, Oregon and Arizona as well.
Bill Bradley passed away June 9th 2008 at the age of 75.
He is survived by his wife Connie, five children (Cliff, Clyde, Cheri,
Carol and Chris), his brother Bob, and five grandchildren (Christie,
Evan, Erin, Laura and Stephanie).
He will be dearly missed
