Bradley was born in New London on November 20 ^th , 1949, to Earl and Louella (Mayo) Muthig. He worked for many years at the Neenah Paper and Lamination Corp. Later in life, he worked for the Woodman's Gas and Lube Center where he first met his wife. Bradley and Christine were married on August 11th, 2001. During his life, Bradley was passionate about his hobbies, including gardening, model trains, and vintage car repair and collection. He was known for his competitive spirit, and always found a way to win a trophy. To most, however, Bradley is best remembered for how much he cared for his family, gladly adopting and loving Christine's children, and grandchildren as his own.

A funeral service will be held at 1pm on Friday, December 30 ^th at Brettschneider Trettin-Nickel Funeral Chapel. Friends and family may visit the chapel on Friday from 11:30am to 12:45pm.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Compassus Hospice, and to Jaime, Michele, Mercedes, and Jasmine for the compassionate care given to Bradley.
