Bradford E. Ableson

Mrs. Ableson, I just learned of "Chaps" passing. He spent countless hours answering my questions regarding theology, the church, the scriptures etc.. during the 2002 deployment of the USS George Washington. I am a better man and christian for having known "Chaps". I will miss him terribly. God Bless You.

We remember Brad well. We were aware of his battle with cancer. He has fulfilled a great ministry thrrough his life and dedication to the Kingdom of God. His memory will be a blessing to you and many others throughout the coming days, weeks, months and years. May God be glorified in his memory as He was glorified in and by Brad's life!

To the Abelson Family - My deepest sympathy for your loss! As a high school classmate, teammate and friend, I cherish the thoughts and memories of Brad from our youth. He was a great individual then and obviously carried those same qualities forward in his life. I'm extremely honored and humbled to call Brad my friend and appreciate his loyal service to the Lord and our country. We will truly miss him!!

THANKS FOR YOUR Military Service.

Dear Julia,

My heart aches for you dear friend. When I learned of your beloved Brad's passing, I was consumed with emotions -- grief, sadness, sorrow, anger. But, after reading his obituary and the condolences offered by his many friends and family members, I find myself in absolute awe. Absolute awe of his impressive background, absolute awe of his career highlights, absolute awe of his tremendous accomplishments but . . . most of all, absolute awe of the man himself -- the man...
