Sad to find this - Brad and I were bouncers at the Distillery East back in the 80's and became good friends.

They were good times, and I will never forget the video we made with Ty - our air band was before the air band became popular lol.

All I can say is how ironic I decided to search your name, but also how sad to discover you are gone before I could contact you to say "blast from the past."

I have many fond memories of my time out West while stationed at Camp Pendleton. Brad and I had a lot of laughs, and we shared a lot about life during that time.

My heart goes out to his family, and while I never met you, and my message is late, but I did know Brad - and he was a good person.

I'm glad he found someone who obviously made him happy and settled down and started a family.

a few thoughts through out this last year.

It's So Hard To Believe That You're Really Gone
And To Know That We Will No Longer
See Your Smiling Face,
Or Hear The Sound Of You're Laughter
You Left So Many Memories, Which Will Never Part
You Will Always Live Deep Inside Our Hearts
We Are Thankful That God Graced Us
With Someone As Special As You
It's Just Hard To Believe
Your Life On Earth Is Really Through


I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don't Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can't Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too.
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.


i cant believe a year has come and gone with out you. i miss you soo much. everything i do i do for you and i hope your proud. i love you Big Grandpa always in my heart

love your baby girl
