                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 4, 2015

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. & 
Mrs. Michael J. Bradley, two constituents born and raised in my 
district, who will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on 
June 18, 2015.
  Michael Bradley was born and raised in Philadelphia and is a graduate 
of St. Thomas More High School. His loving wife, Bernadette Ann Sherry, 
was also born and raised in Philadelphia and graduated from West 
Catholic High School. The Bradleys are an extremely close knit Irish 
Catholic family, blessed with eight children and twenty-three 
grandchildren. Mr. & Mrs. Bradley taught their children that the best 
way out of poverty was through hard work and education. Fortunately, 
Michael and Bernadette were able to support all eight of their children 
as they attended college. Above all, the Bradleys always gave their 
children three major items to live by: ``Faith, Family & Friends''.
  Mr. & Mrs. Bradley are not only prosperous with love from their large 
family, but have also succeeded in the business realm. The M.J. Bradley 
Company was founded in 1973, and continues to be a well known contender 
in the construction industry, installing quality floor and wall 
products. The M.J. Bradley Co. continues to grow and thrive under the 
guidance of five of the Bradley's children.
  I would like my colleagues to join me in honoring the significance of 
this occasion, as Mr. & Mrs. Bradley celebrate their 60th wedding 
anniversary. They are both model citizens of Philadelphia and will 
remain an inspiration to their family and community for generations to 
come.
