Bradley J. "Jerry" Little, 81, of York died Wednesday morning, July 13, at SpiriTrust Lutheran, The Village at Sprenkle Drive. He was the husband of the late Barbara A. (Landis) Little. Born September 1, 1940 in Spring Grove, he was the son of the late Clarence W. and Mildred L. (Sterner) Little. Brad worked for C.S. Davidson Civil Engineers for two years after graduating from Spring Grove High School in 1958. He then moved to P.H. Glatfelter Pulpwood Company, where he retired as a beater room foreman after nearly 40 years of employment. In retirement, he worked briefly delivering for a local florist, and later, auto parts for Marley Gross Ford in Spring Grove. Brad and Barb were active members of Saint Paul Lutheran Church on Trinity Road for more than 50 years. They were mini sextons at the church for 10 years and Brad served on St. Paul's Wolf's Church Cemetery Board for almost 40 years. Brad loved everything about automobiles and was a self-professed "motorhead." He loved to travel and attend NASCAR races around the country with his best traveling partner, Barb. He also enjoyed riding his bicycle on the rail trail with his friend, Fred Meyer. Family was very important to Brad. He and Barb dearly loved every member of theirs through nearly 60 years of marriage. They were always available to help with projects and just enjoy time with one another. In their latter years together, he cared for Barb through many medical problems until her death two years ago. Brad is survived by his four children: Scott B. Little (and wife, Missy) of Elizabethtown; Barry J. Little (and wife, Eileen) of Red Lion; Belinda A. Jackson (and husband, Todd) of York; and LaDawn E.
