We did a half ironman together on Sunday, Dad. I wish I could have hugged you at the finish line, but I know you were there for the finish line sprint because I had nothing left and suddenly I did, that was you. Miss you more and more.

Gina, Andrew and Ben, Brad was a good, good honest man and a true friend.

I don't think Brad could have been a better friend or advisor to my family. God Bless you in this difficult time. Mary Jane McCluskey, Alexander and Allison
