Truly a loss. I met him when I was an undergrad at Cal. He'd done a lot of things in his life.

Here's his obituary.

The family requests gifts in his memory to The Hugh and Marjorie Bradner Endowment at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. A memorial service for Hugh and Marjorie Bradner will be held at the UCSD Faculty Club on Sunday, May 25, at 3 p.m.
