Joseph Bradshaw

Joe Bradshaw, 80, passed away December 23, 2015 in Red Lodge, Montana. We gather here to say good-by to this old cowboy, a man that was more comfortable around cattle and horses than he was with people. But everyone he met enjoyed listening to his stories about his time working with cattle or horses and Bronc riding at the rodeo. He had a number of jobs in his life but the ones he liked most were the race track with horses where he would get enough money to take his kids to the fair: and when he worked at the stockyards working with cattle and horses. At the age of six he lost his eye in a game of cowboys and Indians. Yes, they did make them tougher back then. So we say good-bye to this old bronc rider one last time out of the chute. He leaves behind his wife Norma; daughters Jodee, Lindy, Robin; sons Larry, Lonnie, Joe, Shawn; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; one son, Loren; grandsons Jacob and Levi. Memorial Services will be 1:00 p.m. Monday, January 4, 2016 at the Baptist Church in Red Lodge.
