Edward Bracey

He was a loved husband, brother and uncle. Pokey loved fishing, hunting, gardening and canning. He was also an excellent cook. He was even known to occasionally “doctor” up someone else’s cooking. Edward was also no stranger to pulling pranks and jokes on his loved ones. During his marriage to Jimmy Lee, he was an avid 42 player even participating in many tournaments. Edward was a War World II veteran. He entered into service with the United States Navy in 1943. He trained at Camp Grant in Illinois and went on to be stationed in England during the war. Pokey later retired from Levi Strausse Co. Edward will be dearly missed by all who knew him and cherish the memories they have of him.
