Condolences to the family of our classmate Brad. He served his country in the military as a Corps of Engineer officer and in civilian life as head of his own engineering firm. His work on the Roaring Springs RR will last as a tribute to him. "Well done. Be thou at peace."

Brad Honholt was an exemplary gentleman. I knew him as a classmate at West Point. More importantly, we were in the same, golden company, Co. L-2d Regiment. He was bright and always good fun. The last time I saw him was at our 50th Reunion. We shall miss him. Well done, Brad. Be thou at peace.

Dear June,
We first met Brad in 1984 when he helped us with a project. It was nice to learn he was a Kiwanii when I joined the club in 2002. We're sorry for your loss.
