Robert Earl Bradley

Robert Earl Bradley, loving son and cousin departed this world on July 19, 2014. He was born August 25, 1951 in Houston, Texas to Hervie and Earlene Bradley. He was their only child. Robert grew up playing sports with a passion for basketball, football and swimming. He attended Wheatley High School and continued his education at Texas Southern University earning a degree in Business. Robert worked in the banking industry for over 25 years, one of which was South Main Bank. His professional journey also took him to Houston Works in 1988 as the Workforce Development Supervisor where he was employed until 2002. His love of working with people continued when he joined Communities In Schools. He was charged with working with at-risk youths and providing them with the tools to get into college. In addition, Robert was responsible for developing worksites for these economically disadvantaged youths. His invaluable guidance and mentorship provided a road map for success. He continued working for Communities in Schools for six years before he retired in 2010. He will be greeted in heaven by his mother Earlene McDavid Samuels, his aunt Robbie Jewel McDavid, and his uncle Jesse McDavid and his grandparents Robert and Eva McDavid. Robert leaves to cherish his memories: his cousins Tyishka F. McDavid, Tsydea Dawn McDavid, family members Dr. Teddy A. McDavid, Hjordis Scranton and a host of friends.
