Jim & Wanda & Family:
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your son..
Will always remember his smile and wit. Whether on the Football Field, hallway, or Class Room. Class of ’76 has lost one of the best. R.I.P. Brad.
Brad and I were childhood friends. Our families vacationed together many times. Brad was funny, kind and so much fun to be around. I am so sad of his passing. I feel so blessed to have shared moments with him. God bless Brad and his family.
