                      REMEMBERING MR. ED BRADBURY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
remember a caring and compassionate family man from Salida, Colorado 
who has recently passed. It is with profound sadness that I now rise to 
honor the life and memory of Mr. Ed Bradbury.
  Born and raised in Granite, Ed was a dedicated citizen who spent time 
with the U.S. Army in Germany before heading back home to Salida in 
order to pursue a life in public service. Ed was elected and served on 
the Salida City Council for 10 years prior to being elected as a 
Chaffee County Commissioner where he served diligently for eight years. 
During this time, Ed worked hard for the people of Salida and Chaffee 
County and was known as a person who accomplished much during his time 
in office. He was also well known as the owner of the Salida Sweet 
Shop, which brought joy and happiness to countless children.
  Sadly, Ed died after falling down a mineshaft near his birth place of 
Granite, Colorado, in a mine he had worked since 1954. His family, 
friends, and those people whom he had served throughout his career as a 
public servant will miss Ed dearly. His wife, Estella and their three 
daughters Charlene, Theresa, and Dianna will solely miss their caring 
husband and father.
  Mr. Speaker, at the age of 71, Ed Bradbury will be remembered and 
appreciated for his family values and devotion towards the public 
sector. As family and friends mourn his passing, his lessons and 
service will live forever in the hearts of those who knew him and whom 
he assisted. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family 
at this time of remembrance. Ed Bradbury will surely be missed.
