I remember how Stan practiced an "injury" if we had no time outs near the end of a game! I saw him twice in his later years and wouldn't have recognized him w/o seeing his name, I agree sadly Vietnam stayed with him. All vets need our prayers especially Vietnam era!
So sorry he struggled with Vietnam "ghosts"(?) all his life. I appreciate the sacrifice he made to help make the USA safe from communism. Sorry he is gone; a sweet guy! Prayers for his family.
War in any era is hard to overcome but Vietnam seemed to take many "prisoners" and held them captive for life. It is hard to know that Stan was one of them. He and many others sacrificed so much for our freedom and peaceful rest at night. God bless Stan and all our military and service personnel.
Didn't know Stan well, but always thought he was such a nice guy - and soooo good looking. I feel sad to know he was so harmed by the war. Blessings and prayers to his family. I see clients with deep scars from the military - who are forever changed emotionally, physically, and neurologically. Every soldier and Veteran needs our compassion, respect, and support.
Sometimes we may treat star athletes and celebrities like heroes but real heroes are members of our military services who keep us free and our police, fire and rescue first responders who keep us safe. They sacrifice it all for us and sometimes suffer in ways we can't understand. RIP Stan Bradford, a genuine THS hero.
I sat behind Stan in homeroom all through Junior High and High School (Bradford - Brandon). He always had a great smile, a wise crack and he always needed a pencil. He is at peace now, but will be missed by many.
Stan was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. He was a good friend, a good son. I'm happy to have spent those last years with him and Jimbo. They were some wild and crazy, but fun times.
I, along with many girls saw the smile and personality that Stan had. One day he called and asked me to go riding on his motorcycle. I did and had a great time. We went all the way from Woodland Hills to the spillway on Rice Mine Rd. I'm sure I must have slipped away with another story to Mother, since she would have never let me go. Of course, he could have charmed her too. So sad about Vietnam......It made life so hard for so many survivors. I'll never forget my "wild ride" with smooth, smiling Stan. I'm sure it wasn't wild enough for him! What a great guy who was haunted by memories of Vietnam.......the war that should have never happened.....Heaven heals

Stan was one of the ones that just made you feel good and happy when he said hello to you.
He always had a kind word, I sure his pain is gone now! Rest in Peace, and my God Bless all American Vets!
