William C. (“Bill”) Bradley, devoted son, husband and father, died peacefully on Monday, August 14, 2017, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania at the age of 86. He was the son of the late William Carol and Pearl Hopkins Bradley of Marion, Illinois. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 65 years, Mary and their children Stephen (Judy), Randall (Barbara) and Michael; his two grandchildren Eric (Sonja) and Ashley (Grant), along with four great grandchildren, Emma, Jake, Vera and Evelyn.

Bill served in the U.S. Navy from 1948 to 1952. Upon returning from service, he married Mary Alice Grabis from Bryantown, Maryland. After a brief time in southern Illinois he and his wife returned to southern Maryland where he began a very successful career in the field of mechanical contracting, culminating in the establishment in 1983 of the successful mechanical engineering and construction firm of Mecco, Inc. in Jessup, Maryland.
