Farewell Boat Racer / Pilot / Father
My father and I raced from 1988 to 2005. Starting with a 24' Skater "Wildcat" and then switching to our our 33' Sutphen, "Tsunami". Our highlight of our racing career was winning the Worlds in 1993.
Some of you may have seen the Freexe Frame Video of our stuff at Key West back in 1990.

The local paper in Hamilton wrote a great tribute article about him.

For those who may be interested, we will be holding a celeration of life on Sunday September 9th at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, 9280 Airport Rd, Mount Hope ON L0R 1W0. 905-679-4183 from 1-4pm.
RIP Dad

Condolences to the Joanne Bradley, family and friends!
I met Dennis and Rob while they were racing in the GLSCS with their Sutphen B-26 "Tsunami" . For those who met Dennis whether you knew him or not were greeted with a big smile and good hand shake. I learned over the years that Dennis and Rob were the first (Canadian Offshore Race Team) to win an APBA World Championship and then I learned about Dennis Bradleys life history and it was amazing what he had done and accomplished in his life time. Dennis you will be missed and always remembered.

Sorry to hear this Rob
Met you and your Dad years ago at the race event in Buffalo NY. (too bad, because that was shaping up to be a great event until the weather front moved in and blew everybody off the lake)
I never knew until now your Dad was instrumental in the Canadian War Plane Heritage. Neat, I toured it several times and worked a couple of Trade shows there.
Always remember my buddy Wayne Brogan showing up to an Enduro Race with a 'Wildcat Race Team" Satin Jacket in the 80's.
