Dominering, Overpowering, and always 'In Charge"... that is what impressed me . Overcoming my fear, I forced myself to engage this man. He taught me never to doubt you convictions and never to back down. Had some good meals out on Folly Beach, too.. rest now, at last

All who had dealings with Dr Bradham (aka Crow) will remember him as straightforward, honest, dedicated and a pleasure to know. Those are the things this surgical device representative also remembers.

Dear June, Gil,Bramlett,Riley, and all,
My heart is very saddened by the news of Crow's passing away this week. I was "his nurse" in OR1 in the old suite at MUSC-back in 1974,75,76. That OR had an observatation window on the ceiling where he could teach; and he did enjoy his "theater". He was a skilled surgeon, awesome teacher, and a dear friend. He loved life like no one I have ever known, he loved June and his family, and he loved his dogs! He told me so many funny stories about his life-- he was truly a rich man. We maintained our friendship over the past 39 years, and I will cherish his memory. We are all truly better people for having known Crow. I am so sorry I couldn't make the memorial service, God bless you all in this very sad time of loss. I will miss him greatly.

I knew "Crow" from the days when I was engaged to a Citaadel cadet and spent more days on the Citadel's campus than my own USC. Always delightful and full of joie de vie, years later I watched him doing a heart procedure on a dog in the research lab at MUSC. Seeing hIs gentleness and concern for his subject of research , I knew then he was born to do great things and he has. My deepest sympathy to all the family and I hope you find your loss more bearable remembering the thousands he helped throughout his life.God be with you all. Dotsy Lloyd Boineau

June, Thiele, Tucker, Bramblett-what a beautiful and touching service this morning. What an amazing individual he was, and what a mark he made on this earth. He was surely loved, and returned that love with such intent. He will be sorely missed by many, and that was very evident there today. Praying he's at peace, knowing he truly did make a difference to the many whose lives he touched.

Wonderful memories of Dr. Bradham when I was a student nurse many years ago. He was, indeed, a true physician. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

May 23, 2013

Dear June, Trey, Thiele and Tucker,

Wish I could be there to hold each of you tightly and give you a hug. I am so glad I could make it to Thiele's wedding and meet Gil. He brought a smile to June's face and sunshine to those around him. Love, Martha
