We got to know Brad when he & our son, Billy worked together. They were good friends & neighbors until our son’s sudden death in June, 2020. We know the heartbreak of losing a son & our prayers are with Brad’s mom, dad, children & all who loved him. Thanks Brad for being there for our family. We wish you peace.
Worked with Brad for several years (the Sprint family). Brad was warm, friendly and just the kindest man. My thoughts and prayers are with his children. I only met them as small children but I hope they find peace on this difficult journey, your father was one of the best of them. Love to Ann & the rest of his family.
Having been Brad’s neighbor for the past 5 years, it’s been a pleasure to know someone so nice and willing the help out without question. My wife and I are so going to miss all the impromptu (and planned) gatherings in our back yards. Even though Brad is gone from our sight, he is forever in our hearts. Cheers, Brad.
