    Brad was a good friend for many years. We both have been die hard Rolling Stones fans since we met. THAT GAVE US A SPECIAL BOND

    Brad has been a good friend for many years. His sense of humor has always stood out for me. I think I will miss that the most. Rest in peace my friend.

    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!
