So sorry for you loss. He was a faithful and appreciated vendor at the Eagle Farmers Market and we missed him when he could no longer participate.

Austin; do you know how many times I’ve gone to the phone this week thinking ‘Brad will know’? My sympathy, young man. You are in my prayers.

So sorry for all the loss in your family recently. I went to school at Waverly, but I mostly knew Brad through NSAI. He had a great sense of humor, was always quick with a joke. He had this other side too where he wouldn’t take any crap off of anybody. He was a fighter to the end. Really an inspiration of how to make the most out of life.
