Francis (Frank) John Bradwell was born December 8, 1924 in Saskatoon, Sask. to Alice and William Bradwell. He grew up on the farm attending school at Meadowlands School. On Sept. 15, 1943 he enlisted in the army serving 2 years and 7 months, with 45 months in a German Concentration Camp. After getting out of the army he went to work at the Canada Cement Plant, Exshaw, AB. until his retirement in 1983. In September 22, 1951 he married Florence Lydia Head. His hobbies included golfing, hunting and a great love for fishing causing him to buy a lot in Black Creek, B.C. and build his own house so he could be close to the ocean for fishing and a golf course one block from his front door. They never had children but they always had a Yorkie dog which was a constant companion.
