UNITY -- Jack Bradeen of Unity passed away Tuesday, May 16, 2006. He was born in Waterville on March 12, 1947, the son of Walter and Velma (Tyler) Bradeen. He was part of the first graduating class of Mount View High School in 1965. Jack was a Vietnam veteran, serving in the Navy from 1965 to 1969. He then went on to pursue an electrical degree from Eastern Maine Vocational Technical Institute, graduating in 1971. In 1972 he married the former Nancy Porter of Thorndike. He began employment with Central Maine Power Company in Fairfield in 1971 and held the recent title of lead power technician, although he lead all to believe that he was the boss there and could not be replaced by anyone else in the company. Jack was a member of the Masons No. 85 and was also a previous member of the Tri-County Car Club, having a great interest in restoring older vehicles. He was very involved with his family, always there to lend a hand to anyone who needed it, especially his children. He would cancel any plans that he had if they needed him. He was also very close with his grandchildren, Collin and Jacob and loved spending time with them. He often took a Friday off from work just to do this. He was predeceased by his father, Walter Bradeen and his sister, Susan Bradeen. Survivors include his spouse, Nancy Bradeen; his children, Allison Peckham and spouse, Frank, and Aaron Bradeen and fiancée, Kim Mehuren; his mother, Velma Bradeen; brothers, Leroy Bradeen and spouse, Sonja (Tweety), and Rodney Bradeen and spouse, Ann (Oliver); his sister, Sylvia Lowry; his special grandchildren, Jacob and Collin Peckham; as well as several nieces and nephews. Memorial visitation will be held from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, at Lawry Brothers Memorial and Remembrance Centre (Unity Performing Arts Building), 42 Depot St., Unity. Private burial will be at the new Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Augusta. In lieu of flowers, memorial donation may be made to The Jack Bradeen Scholarship Fund, c/o Bangor Savings Bank, P.O.
