Micah Materre: Early Life and Family

Micah’s parents, Louis and Vera Jeanne Bradley had paint businesses before becoming insurance brokers, while her mother worked as a school administrator. Micah spent her whole childhood in Chicago.

Louis was the proprietor of two well-known paint shops on Chicago’s South Side. He operated the businesses for about 30 years before selling them and switching to the insurance industry, opening and operating his agency, Materre Insurance, for more than 20 years. Louis passed away in April 2018 at the age of 91. According to his friends and family, “Big Louie” had a special manner about him and a wonderful personality. Because he knew something about every topic, you could chat with him about anything, according to Micah.

Louis served in the Army from 1952 to 1954, during which time he participated in the Korean War. After his discharge, Louis received the Korean Service Medal with two bronze service stars for his efforts. Six years after leaving the Army, in 1960, he met Vera Jeanne; they fell in love right away and got married six months later.

After deciding to retire in 1988, he spent his time playing golf, traveling, and listening to jazz music. He spent the winters in Vegas playing golf with jazz legends Johnny Pate and Joe Williams. Micah Materre was an avid golfer, and you could often find him on the course in March even when there was still some snow on the ground. He was able to assemble a fantastic quartet that was a force to be reckoned with. However, Micah said, “His favorite times on the course were with his sons and his daughter.”

Louis left Micah, her two brothers Louis Jr. and Daryl F., as well as her sister Gloria L., great memories.
