Mr. Bradley Peter Zacek, Sr., 75, of Rome, NY, entered his eternal home on Sunday, July 29, 2018 at the Siegenthaler Center in New Hartford after enduring four years of cancer. Bradley was born in Utica on July 17, 1943, the son of the late Peter and Delma (Baker) Zacek. He was a graduate of Holland Patent High School, Class of 1961.

Over the course of his life, he worked in various fields, including, Montgomery Wards, TICO Manufacturing, Davey-Jones Berry Farm, Newport Telephone and United Cerebral Palsy. Bradley enjoyed playing basketball and golf throughout his life as well as watching all kinds of sports. Bradley attended Redeemer Church in Utica with Pastor Servello.

His favorite songs included, “Amazing Grace”, “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me, “I Hope You Can Dance” by Lee Ann Womack and “He Reigns” by the Newsboys.
