Bradley Vadas Obituary
Bradley H. Vadas's former landlord in Manhattan came to his memorial service ‹ not to sing praises about what a sweet tenant Mr. Vadas had been, but about what a great negotiator he was. "He had an intense desire to be fair, but also to get what he wanted at the minimal cost," said Mr. Vadas's fiancée, Kris McFerren. "He was good at making you want to give him a good deal."
Mr. Vadas, 37, a senior vice president at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, was regularly one of the firm's top traders, perhaps because it involved the same rough-and-tumble strategizing that he found in his Sunday pickup softball games and online chess ‹ and negotiating his rights as a tenant.
He and Ms. McFerren, who had known each other for nine years, recently made plans to be married. They attended a wedding in Lenox, Mass., over Labor Day weekend. One of his last single boyhood friends had finally made the leap, and on the drive home they had decided that they would, too, next spring. "We talked about going shopping for an engagement ring for Kris in the weeks to come," said a friend, Tom Gallagher.

Thought about you as I do every 9/11. Wish I would have had the time to meet you and your family. My grandfather and his family were from Connecticut also so we must be related somewhere down the line. On the week following 9/11, the Toledo Blade posted pictures of people who died in the World Trade Center and your picture came up. I was stunned because of your name and you look just like my son. I still haven't gotten over this and never will.

I never knew you nor your family, but I pray the Lord richly blesses your family and friends with unyielding peace - along with comfort from memories of love and laughter shared. Time forces us to move on - but I also pray you know you are never forgotten, thought about often - and obviously missed dearly by so many. Rest in peace. We will never forget

Haven't been here in a long time. Tom texted today. Then another friend texted from Jackson Hole. Figured you were making contact. It has been nice to read through some of these posts. You have had a profound effect on many that never knew you. You are definitely missed. My son started asking questions about 9/11 last year (he will be 7 this fall). One day I will share with him who you are. Right now he wouldn't understand that mommy was going to marry someone else before daddy. Anyway... much love as always.

I didn't know Brad. I am a Brazilian teenager and I have to do a project about someone lost on 9/11 for my sociology class. I was given Brad's name and based on what I read he seemed like such a special person. My parents gave me a new cat for my birthday today and I named him Brad. It's a small tribute but now I will always have him on my mind. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friend as the 14th anniversary aproaches.

I travel to NY at least once a year and have done so for the last 15 years or so . I love the city , the people and its history . On my last visit for whatever reason which I can't quite understand I decided to take a photo of the 9/11 memorial fountain feature and in particular the spot where Brad's name was showing . I really can't explain why . It is the first and only photograph I have taken of the site despite having visited at least some 15/20 times . On my return to the UK (Cardiff/Wales) I did some research on Brad . What a man. Great looks , great mind and obviouslly a great inspiration to all who were lucky to have met him . From a far away I raise my glass to you , and vow to try and make myself a better person each day in your memory . I am now in my 60's and thought there was little left that could have such an effect on me but Brad has . A special man .

Oh how time flies, Uncle Brad. As I get older and the years pass, 9/11 seems to only get harder. I thought it would be a cool idea to take the train by myself down to NYC to see the memorial for the first time but as I got there, I realized I wasn't ready. I'm grateful for the kind NYPD who hailed my cab while I was crying. I must've looked crazy talking to you as I got lost on the walk from GCT over to the WTC. Anyways, I miss you every single day and you continue to be a driving force behind my success and you are my inspiration in my field of studies. You were so wonderful and I wish that I got to spend more time with you. I miss you, Mom misses you, Bradley wishes he knew you. I wish Bradley knew more about the man he was named after. Again, I love you to the moon and back and twice around the block. Rest easy, Uncle Brad.

I'm from Louisiana. I recently visited the 911 memorial with my daughter while we visited NYC for the first time. There are no words to describe the feeling/ emotions as we stood watching and listening to the water fall into the abyss. After returning from NYC I deicided to research the name on the memorial Shelly was drawn to. This is how I found this page & would like to share a very emotional photo of my daughter.

Brad, I have been following your story in its entirety as part of a school project. You seemed like a wonderful man and I would have been honored to have met you. I will never be able to comprehend your family's feelings on that terrible day, but my heart goes out to them and to you. Rest peacefully knowing that you have a caring and loving family down here that dearly misses you.

Brad, I often past by your dad's old place in Norwalk and remember you. It was a start of an exciting friendship that shaped me in some forever. It was incredible how our paths crossed in so many unexpected ways. Clearly I am not the only one that had a life changing experience because of our friendship! That is a good thing! Like everyone else in this chain, I just wish you were here with us. You are so missed

To Brad's dear family. I attended BC with Brad and very much loved his positive attitude, and awesome smile. I lost touch with him, but I was deeply saddened to hear he had passed in that senseless tragedy. I played quarterback for our dorm's flag football team and Brad could run like the wind, so he was great at burning by defenders and scoring TDs! He was a shining light on our hall and he had a great sense of humor. He was the envy of our hall with his charm and beautiful lady friends! God bless Brad, his family, and all who suffer because of that day.

It's 2:35 AM on the east coast - it's been just about 12 years now since we had you, Uncle Brad. You are so very missed by so many people. I loved you and I still do. You mean so much to me - I am in college because of and for you. Your brother read names again at Sherwood Island and your beautiful nephew who carries your name read yours at the very end. I'm so proud of them both. You're in so many of my thoughts and prayers. I'm working hard at being the kind of niece you'd be proud of. It feels like just yesterday I heard Grandpa sobbing and sat in your house, not understanding the situation. Tonight, I pray to and for you - never forget, always remember. Love those who matter most, and love them fiercely. You never know how long you've got. You're an inspiration and I'm blessed to say you're my uncle. I love you forever and a day and my heart aches, especially today, knowing you are no longer in our presence.

Just thought I'd tell you that you were in my thoughts and prayers and that I love you. I can only hope that you'd be proud of me and the strides I've taken this year! I've certainly felt your presence lately and I miss you. Hope you're not causing too much trouble up there in Heaven. You were and continue to be a blessing. I love you.

January 22, 2013
Early morning here in Arizona on January 22, 2013. Was thinking of you. Went online to find all of these tributes to you. It brought me a feeling of happiness and sadness. Happiness that you had such a fulfilled life of so much goodness, and sadness that you are gone and unfulfilled your future and goals. I have always thought you would have been a terrific and loving Father. Wonder if little Brad would have had a big pile of clothes to pick from everyday? How you managed to look good in spite of your closet pile. No one could have pulled that off than handsome, fun loving you. I got a little peak into your life from family and friends. You were a character, loving, a good boyfriend and I am happy to have shared a little piece of your life.
We parted as friends and you will always, always, be in my heart. Julie Wallin-Kilbane

Uncle Brad! I was just rereading through all the entries on here, and it never ceases to amaze me just how much people loved you, and how much they still do. I miss you every day, and there is nothing I do without thinking of you. You were a beautiful person, inside and out, and I love hearing stories about you. I wear your old Weston baseball jacket all the time. It's warm, and it says your name on it. When people ask who Brad is, I proudly tell them about you. I love you more than you can imagine, and you are the chief reason for where I'm going in life. I love you forever.

Dear Brad,
Just thinking of you and your family today. Ten years, how fast time passes. From being at Ground Zero right after the attacks, to my sister calling me to tell me you where there that day. To several tours overseas. Back to 1993 when Chris and I were in Southbury and found out you survived the first attack. Today, I find myself far from home again getting ready for another tour overseas. You and every one else that perished that day and all the friends and colleagues I've lost are on my mind. I just wanted you and your family to know that we'll never forget and we'll keep doing what we do so this never happens again.

Hi Brad,
I didn't know you at all except for that one Sunday morning at the Compo Beach field. It was one of those great days for softball and I'd only played there once before. I was really psyched to play again and as I recall the game was really close. You came up towards the end of the game and blasted that HR over the left field fence - there was at least one baserunner and I think it won the game - can't really remember the details. What I do remember, though, is that you made it seem so effortless, almost like a foregone conclusion. You had that youthful, powerful stride as you ran around the bases like you were a ball player. Other ballplayers will know what I mean. The guys on my team were muttering your name as you ran - more out of awe than anything. Overall, it was a great day.
I've only recently felt that some good might come to tell this and I hope it brings pleasant memories despite the sadness.
I wish you all peace.

Dear Uncle Brad,
I came across this guestbook on the internet, and was not surprised to see the amount of people who still thing about you often. You were a great person, though I saw you rarely. I wish I was able to spend more time with you. Thank you for watching over me and helping me be the safe healthy girl I am, I know you watch over our family. I'm fifteen now and a senior in high school. It's been so long since we lost you. I've been told I'm taking after you, with a lot of book smarts and very little common sense. I bet if you were still with us, we'd be very close. We visit with Grandpa Vadas and Grammy often, and they're doing well, though Grammy seems to lose her hearing aids quite often. Please watch over them, as I know they miss you very much. Thank you for all you've done for me and my family, it means the world to me. You're always in my mind and heart, and I miss you and love you very much. Keep out of trouble up there in heaven!
Love, Morgan.

Dearest Bradley,
After 9/11 our hometown newspaper, The Toledo Blade, randomly published pictures and stories from the attacks in New York, Washington,D.C. and Pennsylvania. When I saw your picture I thought I was looking at my son who was a senior in high school. My maiden name was Vadas and my family came from Hungary and settled in Conneticut. I think of you often and wish none of this had happened.

Dear Kris,
I was reading a book bout the 9/11. In one side I saw this simple letter....named Brad. And it brought tears in my eyes, as I was reading, what wonderful words he has sended you on the mailbox. I don´t know you, but it seems to me, that the true love was found. It´s not my way to judge about this and this siutation. But I know how it is to loose someone you really love.
I will pray for you and Brad. Hope you will find some peace some day. God has reached his hand on him.
I will pray, lovely greetings

Dear Brad,
I'm not sure why I'm thinking of you today. My mom is very sick and I'm frightened, and the truth is I've been thinking about Heaven a lot lately, and about those I've known who are there now - who will be there when the inevitable comes. So I felt the need to read about you and somehow make contact.
I remember being 8 years old (and many years after) living in Weston on High Acre Rd. I remember like it was yesterday, playing with you, Melissa and Chris and the DeMarco girls who lived next door to you on Joanne Lane. We used to play in your playhouse and swim in your pool, play kickball and spud. We all had crushes on you and you were so cute and kind to all of us. Funny, warm..even as a young kid. Then you grew up to be a smart, fun-loving man-child who could charm just about anyone. Still so funny and warm with those twinkling eyes. Always up for a good time at Backstage or wherever. Able to laugh at yourself and others, never too serious, always a little mischievious. I remember how close you and Kevin McCaffrey were in middle school. I wonder where he is now? Then later Matt, Tom G. became part of your crew in HS. We used to call Tom "Fonzie" he hated that! I remember you had such a crush on my little sister, Colette. You were so funny hoping I would help your cause...making me give you tips and little tidbits of info. hoping it would help you win her over, too funny.
As fate would have it, Maryanne (DeMarco) O'Connor lives in my town of Easton and we have become the best of friends once again (did you have anything to do with that??) and we talk about you all the time. You were her first true love.
The world misses you, Brad, but your memory and love will live forever with your family and friends. My heart breaks for your Mom and Dad but I know they find comfort from the love and support from people and the memories they will always have to cherish. You brought them an amazing amount of joy during your lifetime.
This sounds odd to say, and in no way implies that you were meant to die in that awful tragedy, but heaven is truly lucky to have someone like you. My Mom may be joining you very soon, Brad. I'm sure when she sees those twinkling eyes of yours, you'll say something witty and charming to make her smile...

Five years...Where does the time go? Braces are on, kindergarten has begun, and 12 years of wedded bliss are under the proverbial belt today. For the first time in a long time, things finally look like they're headed in a positive direction. I know you watch over your brother and I as we begin this new chapter. Everyone is so proud of him. Perserverence has been a challenge and faith has been neccessary, but what a blessing it has all been. Thank you for pulling whatever strings you could get your wings on!
I keep picturing your nephew as he places a flower on the stone at Sherwood Island that bears his own name; The name of a man he never knew. There is a feeling of sorrow that the need for the stone exists, but I can see Chris glowing with pride as he tells his son about his own big brother.
We love and miss you every day.
