Obit: Emmett Arnold Bradley, 81, passed away on the morning of February 26, 2021, after a brief illness. He was born on July 17, 1939, to Emmett Samuel Bradley and Maybell Elva (Edwards) Bradley, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A lifelong resident of Oklahoma, Arnold attended Central High School toward the end of which he married the girl next door, Donna June Robbins, on July 2, 1957. Survivors include Donna, their son, David, and daughter, Dana, and her husband, Bill Penn, and one brother, Dwaine. He was preceded in death by their daughter, Debra, his parents, and his half-siblings, Virginia, William, Ruth Ann, and Sonny.
At the time of his death, Arnold and Donna had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren: David Benjamin, his wife, Karie, and their two sons, Dylan and Logan; Rick Lyytinen, daughter, Cyd, and son, Hayden; Debra's children: Stephenie Kirkpatrick, her husband Brandon, and their three children, Baylee, Aiden, and Henley; her son, Cody, and daughter, Elle Luehring, and Elle's son, James.
Arnold was a loving and dedicated husband, excellent father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and loyal employee during his career with Clements Foods (1958-1978), Safeway/Homeland (1978-1991), and Little Giant Pump Company for whom he worked from 1991 to his retirement in 2004. Arnold enjoyed gardening – especially his competition for the earliest tomato of the year against his sister-in-law, Jenny; restoring old cars, particularly the pride of his collection, a 1951 Ford Custom; and fishing with his family.
A Memorial Service was held on July 17th, 2021.
