Sadly, the family of Philip “Phil” Bradley announces his death from complications caused by COPD. He was a graduate of the University of Alabama, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in petroleum engineering, and Purdue University where he earned his Master’s degree in engineering. He had a distinguished military career in the United States Army, serving tours of duty in Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey and Iran, along with various assignments in the United States. After retirement from active-duty, he was hired as a civilian with the Army Corps of Engineers in Huntsville where he served as project manager on several major initiatives.
Phil was married to Jackie, his beloved wife of 62 years. They have three children, Leigh Bradley and her husband, Doug Wade, Flip Bradley and his wife Bonnie, and Lynn Dobry and her husband, Drew. He was also the proud grandfather of six grandchildren.
Phil was the first Eagle Scout in Escambia County, Alabama and served as an elder at Covenant Presbyterian Church. In addition to being a devoted fan of the Crimson Tide, he was an avid golfer, joining Valley Hill Country Club in 1969. He served in several leadership roles in the Alabama Seniors Golf Association, including, most recently, as President Emeritus.
