SHEFFIELD, Mass — E. Mark Bradley, 77, died on Monday morning, June 14, 2021, at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington.

He was born on Oct. 24, 1943, in Great Barrington, the son of Edward L. and Marjorie E. (Markham) Bradley.

Mark was a beloved patron of Spill the Beans Cafe in Sheffield. He also enjoyed volunteering for Meal on Wheels with Virginia. 

He was an avid Red Sox fan and his favorite Nascar driver was Jimmy Johnson. Above all, Mark loved his family and was most proud to be called Dad and Grandad. 

He was always a comforting presence and would bring smiles to everyone. 

Throughout Mark's life, he worked at Gulotta's Service Station in Sheffield, Sheffield Lumber, Berkshire Meadows, and Massini Bus Company. He also served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era and volunteered with the Sheffield Fire Department. It was clear that being involved in the community and working to make things better was a value he lived by.

He is survived by his three loving daughters Jennifer Bradley of Ashley Falls, Andrea Phyllis Bradley of Stockbridge, and Jill Bradley of Newington, Conn., and his two grandsons Jamison Handlowich and Devin Aberger.

Mark was predeceased by his parents and two sisters Lovina Gulotta and Phyllis Smith.
