Timothy Bradford, a Commissioner on the Olympia Fields Park District Board for over 30 years, passed away December 1, 2017. Tim made a significant impact on the lives of those within and outside the district boundaries. Tim was always looking for compromise and solutions that benefited the entire community. His presence is not only missed as a leader but also as a compassionate friend.

Tim was recently given the honor of having the newly renovated Barn Meeting Center named after him in June of 2017; it is now called The Bradford Barn. It was a proud and humbling time for Tim, and we know he enjoyed the honor and the celebration. The dedication is a constant reminder to the staff, Board of Commissioners, and our residents that Tim will live on in our hearts and minds every time we enter The Bradford Barn.

Peace be with you, Tim Bradford.
