Brad Blonigen

In my life and career there are a few people who hold a special place in my memory. Brad was one of those people. When I hired in at Spirit, I was new to research and development and the composite processes I would be working with. He was a great mentor. I wish I had told him how much I valued his friendship and leadership.

We have such fond memories of our time living with Brad in the Franklin House at Iowa State. Brad always kept us in check when we were about to take one of our adventures too far. There were many roommates after Brad graduated, but it was never the same without him. Dave, Jim, and Mike.

Excellent mentor for me personally and I will miss his easy-going style of teaching all that he had the opportunity to work with.

He was a good dude - super nice, who left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to meet him.

So sorry for your loss. Brad was wonderful and quiet cousin of mine. I remember all the good times at Christmas at grandma`s in St. Cloud.

Sorry to hear about Brad. He was a great man. We were colleuges/ friends in our early career at Boeing. Both Iowa State boys.

smart and interested in his employee's work. Thank you for being a role model.

Had the pleasure of working with Brad a few times at Boeing/Spirit. Wonderful tribute, he was a good man!
