Bradley Louis Poulsen, 74, Greenleaf, passed away in the early hours of Saturday, January 18, 2025. The son of Einer and Ramona (Olsen) Poulsen was born on May 8, 1950.

Bradley graduated Class of 1969 from Seymour High School. After high school, he served our country in the United States Air Force from 1969 in Vietnam until his honorable discharge with the ranking of Sergeant in 1976.

After serving our country, Bradley's working career was at Thilman in Kaukauna for over 40 years, and retired as a paper machine engineer.

On January 15, 1972, Bradley married Cynthia Cramer at St. Jude's Church. He was an avid book reader and has a huge library on many subjects. He was a collector of scale model cars, tractors and trains, and all things racing. Bradley loved NASCAR, dirt track racing and attended races any chance he got.

Bradley had a heart of gold, sometimes misunderstood by his "get off my lawn" look. However, once you got to know him, he was the real deal. He was an amazing partner and husband to Cindy, the love of his life.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Cindy; three Godchildren, Tricia (Cramer) Verdegan, Shawn Vannes and Hunter Cramer, who he treated as his own. Bradley is further survived by his brother, Bruce (Andrea) Poulsen; sister, Barbara (Larry) Biddle; in-laws Terry (Shelly) Cramer, David (Carol) Cramer, Kevin (Lorri) Cramer, Jackie (Dan) Verheyen, Linda Cramer and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Bradley was preceded in death by his parents, Einer and Ramona; in-laws, Ralph (Gloria) Cramer and Dawne Cramer; and his beloved dog Snowball.

Family and friends may visit at Ryan Funeral Home, 305 N. Tenth Street, De Pere, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 23, 2025. A sharing of stories followed by Military Honors will conclude the evening at 6:00 p.m.
