My deepest condolences to the McFadden family. We were
next neighbors to brad for about 25 years and he was always so positive about everything and used to love to show us his car collection, especially when getting a new vintage car. He also had a great voice. We heard him at a party across the street from us when he sang a blues song just as good as it was performed by the famous artist. We were sad to hear of his passing but we are sure he in a better place and with a new car collection. We recently found out of his passing as we moved away from West covina.
RIP brad...
