He was a long-standing member of the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club and the Uplands Golf Club.
Brad died of natural causes at the Royal Jubilee Hospital on December 21, 2024. He was very grateful for the services of the palliative care team and the Island Health home care program which allowed him to stay at home as long as possible.
He received wonderful care from the medical services with especial thanks to Dr. John Coburn.
He will be remembered for his love of family and friends and his great sense of humour. Will be missed and forever loved.
