In memory of Dr. James “Jim” Bradley, who passed on August 10, 2022

With great sadness, the TRIZ Community has lost another TRIZ Master, Dr. Jim Bradley.

Jim passed away on August 10, 2022, after battling cancer for several years. He leaves his wife, Sue, whom he loves very much.

Jim retired from International Truck after almost ten years of service as “the go-to guy” for solving complex problems.

Jim had a long and productive career as a mechanical engineer. One of his most outstanding achievements was receiving his TRIZ Master’s certification. In 2012, Jim earned TRIZ Master #84 under the MATRIZ certification system.

He was, first and foremost, a friend, an extraordinary person who made many friends in the TRIZ community. In his last months, Jim would email his friends wishing us a safe and wonderful weekend. I will miss those emails, and I am sure others will miss them too.

Jim’s legacy of friendship and passion for TRIZ will forever remain in our hearts and memories!
