Michael P. Bradley, 64

March 04, 2022

Michael Paul Bradley, 64, of Lancaster, passed away on Friday, March 4, 2022. Born in Lancaster, PA, he was the son of Dorothy (Cunningham) Bradley Hurst of Lancaster, and the late Bernard Charles Bradley. A lifelong resident of Lancaster, Michael “Omar” Bradley graduated from McCaskey High School in 1975. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Navy as a nuclear submariner. MM2/SS Bradley served 6 proud years in the USN, with 4 of those years being served on the submarine, USS Sand Lance, SSN 660. In 1983, after being honorably discharged from the Navy, he began a long and distinguished career as a Lancaster City Police officer, serving 34 faithful years before retiring at the rank of Lieutenant in 2017. Retirement must not have sat well with Mike, as he continued his service working with the Lancaster City Police Evidence Department. Michael leaves behind two children, daughter Nicole Kelsey Bradley, and son Steven Bernard Bradley. Also surviving are his mother Dorothy Cunningham Brandley Hurst, one brother, Christopher Bradley married to Susan; one sister, Kathy Trimpop married to Dennis Trimpop; his stepfather Gerald Hurst, and two step-sisters, Cynthia Shaub married to Earl J. Shaub and Deborah Regar, married to Ron Regar. There will be a visitation held at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 from 11AM to 2PM, followed by cremation. Graveside services will then be held at 1PM on Thursday, March 10, 2022 at Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens, 845 Laurel Hill Rd., Columbia, PA. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your charity of choice in memory of Michael.
Fair winds and following seas, Mike. We have the watch.

Mike was a shipmate and roommate of mine during our four years together on the USS Sandlance. I have many fond memories of times with Mike.

I just found out that Omar passed away. He was a very special friend to me many years ago. I was so sorry to hear he passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

My sincere condolances on Mike’s passing. I served with Mike in the engine room aboard the USS Sandlance. For six years he was my trainingmate, roommate, shipmate, and, most of all, good friend. On the tribute video, I am the re-enactor on the horse. Unfortunately, that was the last time I saw Mike. He lives in my memories. God bless Mike and his family.                                                                                            Mark Fedorshak

I had the honor of working with Mike for 16 years. I am not an Officer but worked night work in the Records office and saw him every night he worked. Such a sweet, professional, polite man and Officer. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

RIP Mike

March 07, 2022

Hello: I did not know Mike, but in a way, I feel like I do. I, like Mike, was a nuclear submariner (USS Von Steuben, SSBN 632) in the 1960s. That’s one of those bonds that count. Sorry to see him go too soon. I hope his family is as well as can be.

My name was Janet Burkey in the 1970s. I worked with Omar in the kitchen of Whitehall Nursing Home. I have fond memories of him before he went off to the navy. He was always a gentleman, even in his youth. He was a kind, calm soul. Rest In Peace Omar.

Mike was one of my “coaches” after I graduated from the Academy.  In my 26 years of service with the Lancaster Bureau of Police, he was one of the most hardest workers the Police Bureau had.  He was a great person & a friend.   R.I.P..

Mike was a great cousin, man, and officer of the law. He was always enjoyable to talk to. He will be missed by family and friends.

March 06, 2022

Our family offers our most sincere condolances on Mike’s passing. Please accept our love, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
