William Bradford Hume, 65, remembered for his kind and humorous nature

William Bradford Hume, 65, passed away Saturday, June 10, 2017. Brad was born Aug. 3, 1951, in Norfolk.

He was a graduate of Maury High School and Roanoke College, where he majored in business. After college, Brad had a very successful career as a commodities futures broker with Prudential-Bache Securities in Boston and New York City. He retired and moved to Virginia Beach in 1990.

He is survived by his siblings, John Hamilton Hume, and his wife, Anita, Jean Hume Taliaferro, and her husband, Kem, Dorie Hume Fuller, and her husband, Webb, Isabel Claiborne Hume; and many nieces and nephews.

Many fine memories exist of his outdoor activities, including numerous hunting, fishing and surfing excursions. The enormous void left in our hearts will be filled with memories of his kind, humorous nature.
