Mike Brady was a terrific friend, colleague and professional mentor to me at COST. I'll never forget the kindness, warmth, and humor he brought to the tax profession, nor the way he stayed in touch with his COST friends and colleagues over the years. I'll truly miss the golf games, funny stories, and yes, even the terrible jokes. Rest in peace, Mike.

Mike was one of the first people I remember meeting when I started my career in tax and began attending COST meetings. I will always remember him for his dedication to COST and its members, his wit and humor, his love of all things golf and Notre Dame, and as a very sharp dresser. He was a friend to many who will be missed in our community. My condolences to Mike's family at this difficult time.

God love and keep you, Brad. 62 years of friendship has been ours and that's what I'm remembering right now. You are one in a million. Strong of heart and true to her name. Our Lady of the Lake will welcome you home.

Sincere condolences, wonderful Sandy, Tom, Brian and Shannon.

What an amazing baseball coach. Still remember like yesterday when he caught a zooming foul ball barehanded heading right to the bench, without missing a beat with his cigar. And all those rides he gave to us kids after practice, his car stuffed like a clown's in the circus. I feel blessed to be a member of the Brady Bunch. Our condolences and prayers to the family. Mr. Brady was a class act and I couldn't imagine my Lookout childhood without him.

Mr. Brady was a forever friend of the Baker family. One of my favorite memories was when he refereed the Pacelli basketball games and he kept saying "Edie, you're so aggressive, I have to keep blowing my whistle." My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Brady and Tommy at this time. The memories I hold are very dear as your family has always been dear to me.
Much love,
