Charles Bradshaw Obituary

I am the tech that worked with Mr. Bradshaw and his medication when he was in the mountains. I actually just tried to call and check on Mr. Bradshaw and realized he had passed. I know his heart was broken after Mrs. Bradshaw passed. This breaks my heart
he was always so kind to me and also apologized for taking my time when he called. I always laughed and said you do not need to apologize to me for doing my job and besides I enjoyed talking with him. I know he will be missed terribly but he is in a better place with his love.

Sincere condolences for the loss of a wonderful person!

I went to High School in Dublin, Georgia with Charlie. He made Dublin proud and is well remembered here. Prayers for the family.

Charles Jackson Bradshaw was a wonderful man here on earth. He was a great employer who gave so many of us the opportunity to work at Spartan Foods.

We are very sorry for the loss of Charlie. He was a great friend and the first person I met when I moved to Spartanburg in the 1970's.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing Charlie and Bill. He was such an awesome entrepreneur and philanthropist.

I had the pleasure of knowing the Bradshaw's, from their time in Linville. They were each a true blessing.
I actually never knew until now,how special they really were.

Charlie Bradshaw and Jerry Richardson are legends, mentors for Wofford Grads

I worked for Hardee's & Quincy's for about 15 years. I never got the pleasure to meet Charlie but I would always hear Jerry mention his name when came into one of the stores I worked at. He will be greatly appreciated in Spartanburg because of the great deeds & how he continuely gave back to the community. Our condolences to the Bradshaw family.

Very nice man. Met him at Wofford in 1957 as a KA. He got things done!

I worked at Spartan Food Systems from August, 1973 until February, 1977. It was a privilege to work under the great leadership of Charlie Bradshaw and Jerry Richardson. My deepest sympathy to the family of Charles Jackson Bradshaw.

Charley, Judy (Jerry Richardson) were lite years ahead of the pack. Mooney Player

Judy and Family, our deepest sympathy. I didn’t have the honor of meeting Charlie until late in my career and he had a profound effect on me. We stayed in touch a few times yearly and I cherished those calls. RIP, Friend. Terry & Patti Hanson. Eureka, Mo

Bill and Charlie and families- I have had such happy memories of growing up in Spartanburg with your kind generous parents always welcoming me as we enjoyed being kids. Some of my favorite memories are of summers at Fripp Island. Please know how much I hold you and yours in prayer for peace and comfort at this time of loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Bill and your family. May God give you comfort and peace....

Sympathy for this beautiful family loosing 2 beautiful family members so close together. May GODS out flowing love surround you ALL in this difficult time.

Dear Charles, Jr, Bill and family, My family and I were deeply saddened when we heard of Judy's departure and the sadness was double hearing of Charlie's departure. In 1970 Geneva and I were called as the pastor of Westminster Spartanburg. We were greeted by the Bradshaw family. They were dedicated Christians. I was the second called minister and the first minister after the new sanctuary was completed. Charlie was one of the very active deacons. Furniture was needed in the new area and the outside needed landscaping. The Deacons had a major task. Charlie, asking that no recognition be given him came to our rescue more than once. Judy gave much of her time visiting older persons giving devotions. It was my privilege to have all three children in the confirmation classes. Charles, Jr. (April 8, 1973), William B. (March 23, 1975) and Julia Dragon (April 11, 1976). Presbyterian and Wofford were rivals back then. I was at the game when Charlie was quarterback. Wofford was winning. Charlie's pass was intercepted by chance and Presbyterian won. I was a student at Presbyterian and reminded Charlie. His reply, "You don't forget those games." We have exchanged Christmas Greetings for many years. You have wonderful memories of your loving Mom and Dad. Pleas know you will continue in our prayers. May the Lord comfort and sustain you with the knowledge they are together again in the place prepared. They will never be separated again. Love, Bob Pettit

So sorry to hear that your wonderful father AND precious mother have passed away. What a beautiful couple! I know you and your family are so proud of their legacy. I so wish I could come to your Dad’s memorial service as I couldn’t get off of work to go to your sweet mother’s. I will try my best to leave work, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. God’s peace. Bridget Wolfe

He and Judy were loved by my family as were Charlie and bill, my sympathy!

I started work for Charlie Bradshw on Kennedy Street when the company was "Spartan Food Sytems" and retired after 30 years Charlie was always kind to his employees and reached out if he knew they needed help. My prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to the Bradshaw family. I did not know him personally but admired his accomplishments and enjoyed knowing his children at Spartanburg High School.

My memories of Charlie go back to caddying for him in Spartanburg. He always treated me and other young players with encouragement and kindness. We connected again when Peggy and I built a home in Linville he welcomed us warmly. We will miss Charlie and Judy. RIP

Loved playing tennis, racquet ball and being in Sam’s Bible Study with Charlie... Bobby Pinson

Mr. and Mrs . Bradshaw would be considered the perfect role models to pattern your life and family and build your own legacy.
Learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from him . My first lesson was food cost and my second was the importance of accuracy in projecting finance models.
My lesson from Judy was to always treat people with respect .
Memories to live by .

A great man who was admired by many!

Charlie and Judy
You were loved for our relationship in past years
Many sweet memories
Rest in peace
Clarence and Georgia Littlefield

Wonderful man and family. Example to all. Rest In Peace.

To Charlie and Judy’s family: May you treasure the memories of these two wonderful people.
