ST. THOMAS — Government House has issued a press release advising the community that there will be a road closure on Thursday to allow former Lieutenant Governor and Superior Court Judge Julio A. Brady to lie in state (viewing of body) at Government House in Charlotte Amalie.
This viewing is open to community members who wish to pay respects to Mr. Brady and his family. As such, Kongens Gade Government House Hill road will be closed from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Provisions will be made for safe passage of the handicapped and elderly in need of assistance.
Residents are encouraged to utilize alternative routes to avoid delays.
Brady served as the lieutenant governor of the territory from 1983 to 1987 during the second term of former Governor Juan Francisco Luis, and has served as a Superior Court judge since 2006.
But his career began long before his tenure as lieutenant governor or judge. The dedicated leader began his legal career at the Legal Aid Society of New York, as a public defender. He later served as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Virgin Islands from 1971 to 1973. Brady was later promoted by President Richard M. Nixon to U.S. Attorney for the Virgin Islands.
Governor Luis trusted Brady’s leadership and tasked him to oversee the operations of six executive agencies dealing primarily with law enforcement and the justice system.
In 2013, the Virgin Islands Legislature honored Brady for his many years of distinguished public service and his contributions to the Virgin Islands community.
Brady is survived by his wife, Gwendolyn Hall-Brady, currently serving in the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, his children: Andrew and Julie-Marie and grandchildren.
