Bradley Wolverton

My Dad Bradley passed away June 2022; he was 92 years old. Some of you in my era may have worked for him at his grocery store; I know many of the guys in my class did. I want to honor his memory on this, his birthday, July 4. He always joked about the stores closing on his birthday (back when they closed on July 4, Sunday, etc.) He was a good provider and tried to be a good disciplinarian although I tested his skills. Happy Birthday Daddy.

Bob I remember your dad well. My mama shopped at his store regularly both when it was across from the Courthouse and also when he moved to Hwy 35.
Prayers for y’all’s family.

Bob, we shopped at your dads grocery store. He was always there, he talked with every customer there and made you feel welcomed. I know you miss him!!

Thanks Lu Ann. I miss him more than I thought I would; we had, unfortunately, a pretty adversarial relationship...primarily my doing. Yes, he talked to customers and would bend over backward to please them. I worked in the store until I left for college and worked some even then. He gave me a good work ethic which I've always been grateful for.
