Before and after retirement, Bradford and Bernice enjoyed every moment they could camping with great friends at Kejimkujik National Park and Ellenwood Park. As pass time hobbies, Bradford enjoyed watching boxing, feeding the birds, keeping busy around the yard, visiting with family and friends, reading, finishing word puzzles, going to the camp at Jones Harbour where he happily did his chore of washing dishes, and also watching hummingbirds visit the feeder as he sat in “his” chair at home.
