ALDORE O. BRACKEN

Aldore O. Bracken, age 95 of Raymore, Missouri passed away February 11, 2017 at Benton House surrounded by the love of his family. A Memorial service will begin at 11:00 a.m., with visitation at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, February 15, at Cullen Funeral Home.

Al was born March 17, 1921 in Flint, Michigan. He joined the United States Army Air Corps and served from 1941-1945. On April 30, 1944 Al married Virginia May Johnson and together they were blessed with one son, Michael Bracken. Al and Virginia shared 72 wonderful years of marriage!

Al lovingly supported his family and worked for Bendix Aviation Corporation as a model maker for 25 years although he was not awarded his 25 year pin because he was "two weeks short of the 25 year mark". Al was also a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The IAMAW, unlike Bendix, gladly acknowledged Al for his 25 years of service with Bendix and honored him with a well-deserved watch that Al proudly kept for years!

He was preceded in death by his wife of 72 years, Virginia May Bracken (June 23, 2016); his parents, eleven brothers and one sister. He is survived by his son, Michael S. Bracken and his wife, Carla; one granddaughter, Stephanie Blanton and her husband Jeremy; two nephews, Richard Rheaume and Terry Bracken.

Memorial Contritbutions in Al's honor may be given to the American Heart Association (3816 Paysphere Circle, Chicago, IL 60674) or to the American Diabetes Association (2451 Crystal Drive, Suite 900, Arlington VA 22202).
