Jack Louville Bradley, 81, of Thornton, passed away peacefully at Morrison Nursing Home on May 10, 2024.  He was born August 2, 1942, in Niskayuna, NY to Bernard and Dorothy (Corkum) Hammond.  Dorothy later remarried Richard "Dick" Bradley, who adopted her children Dave and Jack. The love within this family cannot be overstated.
Jack graduated from Lincoln High School in 1960.  He went on to graduate from Plymouth State College in 1964 with a BA in Education.  He resided in Thornton, NH where he and his wife Carol (Lowden) began a family.  Jack taught high school mathematics at several schools in New Hampshire and actively organized the Outing Club in each school.  He enjoyed family outings, traveling, fishing, and other outdoor activities.  He built several log houses over the years with the assistance of family and friends.  Small farm life and its many activities kept him busy.  Family get-togethers were a favorite pastime, and he looked forward to such occasions eagerly.  He loved to astonish crowds and family with his firework displays and won recognition awards from the New Hampshire Pyrotechnics Association. He traveled extensively, visiting Puerto Rico, Africa, the Philippines, and Mexico among other countries. Although at times he lived in Alaska, Arizona, and North Carolina, he always considered New Hampshire, and especially Thornton Gore, his home.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Lester Bradley, and sister Kelli Noble.
Jack is survived by his ex-wives. He is survived as well by his siblings: Dave Bradley (Ellie), Louise Bradley Roy, Ralph Bradley (Ruth), Sandy Woerner (David), Jan Dunn, and Diane Carter (Dave). Children and grandchildren are: Brent Bradley (Beth), Sumner Bradley, Peter Bradley, Sam Bradley, Andrew Tyler, Kimberly Tyler Hamilton, and JC De Leon Bradley; Brielle Bradley, Kristian Smith, Katie Smith, and Emma Bradley. He is survived as well by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
