The Capital Impact family recently lost a dear friend and colleague. He is remembered as an individual of integrity, sharp wit and dedication. Bradford wore his passion for Detroit on his sleeve and was an unceasing supporter, critic and advocate for the city and all its residents. Through his tireless efforts and clarity of voice he transformed our work there. Please join us in sending thoughts and prayers to Bradford’s wife, family and friends.
