The following was the obituary for Carl: Carl William Bradford, 66, of Dickson passed away Sunday, Jan. 24, 2010, at St. Thomas Hospital. Mr. Bradford, a native of Dickson County, worked as a painter. Survivors include his son, Chad Bradford of Dickson; daughter, Darlene Bradford of Dickson; brother, Raymond Bradford of Dickson; and sister, Joyce Wall of Dickson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Cornelius Bradford and Dora Harrell Bradford. It contains the facts of his life but seemed far too short to be Carl's whole life story. Carl was all about living life on his own terms, uncensored and full speed. At least that is how we remember Carl. We want all his family and friends to help us complete his story with how you remember him.
