Frank David Bradley

Frank David Bradley, 85, died Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, in Grosse Pointe Woods. He was born June 22, 1936, in Detroit, to Joseph and Francis (nee Rakowsky) Bradley, both now deceased.

Frank married Ann Rahaim on Sept. 13, 1964. He was employed as a specifications analyst for Chrysler Corp., and retired after 34 years of devoted service.

He will be remembered for his fervent love of automobiles and impeccably caring for those he owned. Frank would meticulously wash his cars by hand, rather than run them through a car wash. During the spring and summer months, Frank would painstakingly manicure his lawn to the point it was the envy of his neighbors. In his earlier years, he was very active in water sports and tennis.

Frank was known to be truthful in his words and would give honest feedback to those around him. He was private, caring and soft spoken.

Frank is survived by his loving wife of more than 58 years, Ann Bradley; brothers, James (Diane) of Shelby Township and Thomas (Glenda) of Baxter, Tenn.; and sister-in-law, Rose. Numerous nieces, nephews and close friends also survive him.

Aside from his loving parents, his older brother, Gerald, and his younger brother, Joseph, predeceased him.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated March 3, at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, St. Clair Shores. He was laid to rest at Resurrection Cemetery in Clinton Township.

Arrangements and care were provided by A.H. Peters Funeral Home, Grosse Pointe Woods.
