Just was made aware of Brad's passing by seeing his name in the University of Dayton Magazine. I played for Brad at Patterson Co-Op, summer leagues of 1969 & 1970.

Brad was my baseball coach at UD from 1978 - 1980. He was a strong motivator and his dedication to the game and the UD program was second to none. Even when the UD athletic dept. Didn't support Brad's attempt to make UD's baseball program a quality Division I program during my tenure, Brad continued to fight for his players and their dreams.

Brad was a great friend of mine at Notre Dame High School, graduating in '61.

I have know Brad my entire life, and a lot of my childhood memories have him in them. I will miss the man who was, at times, seemingly larger than life.
