Brad always made me laugh with his great posts. He will be missed. As a former classmate from Penfield High School, he will be remembered with great fondness. My condolences to his family.
Haven’t seen Brad since ‘the Rock’. We had a lot of good times after the evening shift. Brad was free spirited and fun to hangout with. My sincerest condolences to all of his family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Brad was a wonderful man. Many great conversations with him while we worked together. We are here if you need anything
I was shocked and saddened to read of Brads passing. I do not get the paper but Lori told me; I am so sorry. You know I would be there in a heartbeat if I had a car! Please give me a call when you feel up to talking. My condolences to Karen, Dicky and their families. You take care of yourself and know that if there is anything I can do to help you, just call. I love you!
