Wilbur "Bill" Bready

Bill married the love of his life, Janet, February 13, 1960 while serving his country in both the United States Navy and Air Force.

Bill later worked as a cross country truck driver, as a heavy equipment operator, and several various positions within the Pasco County School System (at both Ridgewood and Gulf High Schools). He was an active volunteer with Juvenile Justice and served in prison ministries.

When Bill wasn’t zooming around on a motorcycle, jeeping through the woods, talking to people around the world on his ham radio or telling a joke, he could be found snacking on peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches and watching M.A.S.H.!

Bill is survived by his wife of 57 years, Janet; his children, Denise and Joe; grandchildren, Brandy Ackerman, Danelle Bready, Adam Janes, Nicole Logan, Sharaya Janes, Josie Bready; great grandchildren, Marina Ackerman, Isaiah Bready, Khloey and Calena Logan.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. at Meadowlawn Funeral Home, 4244 Madison Street, New Port Richey. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Bill’s memory to Gulf High School to aid students in need.
