Brad was not a man of many words but when he spoke, people listened … and then laughed. I enjoyed his sense of humor. He will be missed by many. Rest In Peace now Brad. Cheryl Nelson
I only observed humor and courage during Brad’s battle with his disease the last three years, his determination and perseverance was an inspiration to me to accept life on it’s own terms with grace and dignity.
Whenever we got together, he would fill me in on the latest diagnosis or treatment (accompanied by a napkin sketch if required), then would say “enough of that, let’s watch baseball/football/golf”.
Yep. The napkin sketch, then golf….god I am glad I met this man…
I am so sorry and sad to hear of Brad’s passing. His parent’s were my Godparents; and Brad was a very important person in my life growing up. I talked to him several months ago, and went to call him today and found his obituary. Brad was a generous, caring, and compassionate man who will forever be missed. His knowledge and talent was amazing; and I will always cherish memories of Brad while I was growing up. Rest in Peace Brad…Love you!
