Bud Bradt Jr., 92
Morris Bradt Jr. of Amagansett and Manhattan, a retired management consultant, died on Dec. 6 at his home in the city. He was 92 and had been ill with cancer for a year.
With his wife, the former Peggy Ann Polikoff, Mr. Bradt, who was known as Bud, spent more than 50 summers at his house on Deerfield Lane in Beach Hampton. They had a winter home for 20 years in Vero Beach, Fla., where they belonged to the Moorings Yacht and Country Club. Here, they were members of the Amagansett Beach Association and the South Fork Country Club, which informed its members of his death on Monday. “Amagansett was very dear to him,” said Mrs. Bradt.
Born in Knoxville, Tenn., on Feb. 22, 1922, to Morris Bradt and Aline Rosenthal Bradt, Mr. Bradt grew up in Erie, Pa. He graduated from Cornell University in 1943 with a B.S. in mechanical engineering, after which he was commissioned as a captain in the Army and served during World War II for two years in Europe. The Bradts were married on Oct. 26, 1956.
Mr. Bradt’s focus as a management consultant was on transportation and energy. He worked for Western Electric, Coverdale and Colpitts, Stone and Webster, where he was a vice president, the Volunteer Consulting Group, and his own firm, Bradt Management Consulting. He was also active in the National Executive Service Corps of New York City.
In his leisure time, Mr. Bradt enjoyed traveling and reading.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons, George Bradt of Stamford, Conn., and Richard Bradt of Rye, N.Y. He leaves six grandchildren.
