Bradley’s daughter, Andrea, shared his jokes and pranks in a series of tweets.
Here is a picture of the legend himself. My dad, Shay Bradley. It was his dieing wish that we played this at his funeral. What a man…. To make us all laugh when we were incredibly sad….. He was some man for one man…. Love you forever Poppabear #Shayslastlaugh pic.twitter.com/YkG2ecKAaL

In one post, Andrea said, “He had a bigger life personality, and wanted to make us all laugh instead of mourn when leaving the cemetery.”
His son, Jonathan explained how his dad wanted to continue to make an impact, even after his passing. Jonathan said, “He wanted something special and for everyone to remember him as he was so that everyone, especially my mother, did not leave the graveside sombre.”
The family received a lot of love and support from those following the Irish man pranks.
One commenter on a Tweet by Andrea said, “Your dad was obviously life and soul of the party both in life and death. He must have made you laugh every day.”
Another commenter, inspired by Bradley’s send-off was thinking of what he might do in the event of his death. He said, “Sorry for the loss of your dad. He sounds like the sort of person I would have loved to have met. Glad he was sent off with a laugh, after all it is a celebration of his life. I want Sound of Silence or Chas n Dave’s Rabbit Song played at mine as I never shut up.”
