He leaves behind a host of loving family and friends. Harold was born in Memphis, TN. His late parents were Jimmie Vashti Floate Bradley Robison and Arthur Louis Bradley. He was raised in Wyatt, MS surrounded by his loving Floate family. His brothers were the late Morris (JoAnn) Bradley and Charles (Nan) Bradley, who reside in Brighton, CO. He was close to his wife's family, the Robert's and their spouses, and loved them all. He graduated high school from Thyatira High School, attended NW Mississippi Junior College, and graduated from Mississippi State as a proud Bulldog with a degree in Geology. He worked on oil fields from Louisiana to Wyoming until he returned to Tennessee to marry Carolyn Joyce Roberts on November 26, 1959. They shared a life-time of loving devotion to one another. He then worked as a lab analyst at DuPont until his retirement in 1992. Dad was saved at a revival at his home church Wyatt Baptist Church when he was 12-years-old. He was devoted to the Gospel. His Christian faith was demonstrated by his daily walk, through his words and deeds. His wife an children worshiped the Lord at West Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Millington. Daddy sang with much joy in the car with his family - just driving around, and in the church choir for many years. He loved music, especially bluegrass. He made a Dulcimer and played it like a pro. He also enjoyed playing the Jew's Harp. His and mom's travel, admiration of God's handiwork and all things "rocks", took our family on many wonderful rock-gathering adventures across America. He prayed before dinner and when he was finished with the meal, he wadded the paper napkin up into a ball and threw into one of our glasses. He was the most awesome nut. Dad's sense of humor was unsurpassed. He always had a joke or made witty comments at the dinner table or just in passing. His clear blue eyes always sparkled and were the talk of many that he met; his charm was captivating. Dad was the best father on the planet and the kindest person we knew. Dad never met a stranger. He was the kindest and most gentle man on the planet. Our dad was a friend to many and was always willing to lend a hand and show kindness to others. He was a Sunday School teacher and helped the classes he instructed learn to love Jesus and was instrumental in their choice to be baptized. Dad was a loyal, loving, dedicated husband and family man. He was simply the best. We cannot fathom not having our father here for the rest of our lives. However, we know that he is whole, happy and singing to Jesus in Heaven. We will see him again.Read Obituary
