In memory of
Dale Bradfield
of Rapid City, South Dakota, died on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at the Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City at the age of 69
Dale Ernest Bradfield was born at home on November 5, 1939, the son of Byron and Dorothy (McFarland) Bradfield. He lived at home until he was 12 years old. Then he went to live at the State Home in Redfield SD. He moved to Rapid City and lived at the Black Hills Workshop Indiana Home until the present time.
He was a gentle soul who loved trains, music, pickups, family, dogs and short trips. He did let you know when he didn't agree with you, however.
He was blessed with the many people who cared for him at the Black Hills Workshop and the Indiana Home. The caregivers and the residents were family to him. Joy, Ruby, Pat and Connie thank you all.
He will be missed.
Grateful for having shared his life include four sisters, Ruby Motes of Green Valley, Arizona, Pat Valandry of Green Valley, Arizona, Joy Neville and her husband Jerry of Philip, and Connie Holst and her husband Jerry of Rochester, Minnesota; several nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Dale was preceded in death by his father Byron Bradfield on August 9, 1991; his mother Dorothy Bradfield on October 11, 2003; and two brother-in-laws Bob Motes and Dave Valandry.

I will certainly miss Dale and so many fun things about him! The drive to work just won't be the same without him riding shotgun, and pointing out everything on the way! I will also miss sharing my circus peanuts. I am so glad I got to be a part of Dale's life and care, as he always brought me a smile.
My thoughts are with all of you. ~ Jill Rapid City (7/8/2009) -

Dear girls,
I only met Dale once, it was here at my Grandma's house. I remember him having a joy for life. He had to know how much his family loved by the care and attention he received, first from your parents and then from his sisters. Bless you and his memory. ~ Kenny & Lyndy Ireland Philip, SD (7/8/2009) -
