| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Apr. 11, 2005: 'OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Volney Voltaire Bradley Jr. 86, of Oklahoma City, Okla., entered his heavenly home on April 8, 2005, in Tulsa, Okla., of complications of flu and pneumonia. Memorial services are set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 12, in the Chapel of Oklahoma Methodist Manor, 4143 E. 31 St., Tulsa, where he lived the last two and a half years since his stroke. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, April 15, at Shields Boulevard Baptist Church, 3600 S. Shields Blvd. Graveside services with military honors will be held at 3:30 p.m. at Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Hugo, Okla. Arrangements are under the direction of Hunter Funeral Home of Capital Hill. The family receives friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home. He was born April 10, 1918, in Corsicana, the son of schoolteachers, V. V. Bradley Sr. and Bessie Alice Salter Bradley. He spent much of his youth growing up in the Atlas community where his parents taught, a few miles from Soper, Okla., and he graduated from Soper High School. He then attended Murray State in Tishomingo, Okla., Southeastern Oklahoma State, in Durant, the University of Oklahoma in Norman and he graduated from Oklahoma City University with a bachelor's degree in physics. While at Murray State, he was in the 45th Division of the Oklahoma National Guard. During World War II, he was in the U.S. Army Signal Corps from Jan. 1943 until Feb. 1946, as an instructor in electronics, stationed at Camp Kohler, Sacramento, Calif., and Fort Monmouth, N.J. Upon honorable discharge as a technical sergeant, he returned to Tinker Field, then transferred over to the Civil Aeronautics Association (CAA) then to the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) at Will Rogers Field, Oklahoma City as an electronics engineer. He retired from FAA in 1981 after 39 1/2 years of government service. Of the many projects in aircraft electronics, he was proud to have worked on the development and testing of the prototype of the so-called 'little black box' that now sees service as voice cockpit and in-flight data recorders that are so important when a plane goes down. On July 25, 1942, he married his childhood sweetheart, Hattie Mae Hubbard, and they spent 58 years together before she passed away in Feb. 2001. He was a member of Shields Boulevard. Baptist Church in Oklahoma City since Nov. 14, 1948. He made a profession of his faith in Jesus Christ on Aug. 10, 1936 and was baptized in the Kiamichi River on Aug. 14, 1936. He was ordained as deacon on June 17, 1962, and filled many positions at Shields, such as assistant treasurer, director of young married people in Sunday school, brotherhood president and secretary of deacons. In addition he was a general 'fix it' guy when the church needed help with electronics and wiring. His camera expertise found him taking pictures of church activities. Before he designed and installed the first sound system room at Shields Church, he sat in the corner of the choir loft in the bass section, taping the Sunday morning worship service on a reel-to-reel recorder, handing it to a standby driver to take to the radio station for Sunday noon broadcast. He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife; his younger sister, schoolteacher, Linda Bradley Landrum and husband, Bill Landrum Sr.; and niece, Linda Louise Landrum Sarkey.
