"With the complicated melodies of the music he loved so much surrounding them, family and friends of Ed Bradley said goodbye to the "60 Minutes" correspondent Tuesday with a three-hour service filled with life, love and laughs. Nearly 2,000 people filled the stately Riverside Church on the edge of the Hudson River to pay tribute to Bradley, who died November 9 at age 65. They came from the wide spectrum of Bradley's life: from his youth as a Philadelphia sixth-grade math teacher to his early days at CBS Radio and covering the Vietnam War to his friends in jazz and other music and the many people he came in contact with as a globe-trotting correspondent."
