Not sure what to say?

Jamie I don't know you personally but I yesterday I found out about your husband's passing and it made me very heartbroken.....having lost my own brother a year ago to cancer i can only imagine how you feel on a day to day basis.....I met your husband one day at my restaurant and I thought what a tremendous person and what a great conversation we had .....I told him to send me a picture of a t shirt I had given him and he did along with a nice letter.....your husband was an angel and I will...

I fondly remember Brad. The family was with us at NSA Naples, then followed us to NSA Sasebo, then back to Naples. I mentioned to Commander Tim Moore, who was going to be the XO of a ship in Rota that Brad would be an outstanding member of his crew in Rota, and I believe Tim helped Brad get orders to Rota after Naples. I was Alyssa's 5th grade Science and Math teacher and I think she was in my 7th grade Science class also. I am writing this on 24 Oct 2018 and I hope the family is well. ...

Jamie & family, i was so sorry to hear that Brad has passed on... i remember your family at Shepherd of the Lakes and working with Brad at PADS. He was a wonderful person. Please be certain of God's love for all of you... ardy

I only served with Brad for a few months, but he definitely made an impact on my life and career. He is gone way to soon and we are worse for it. My thoughts and prayers to the family in this difficult time.

Laura,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love ,
Holly

Brad was figuratively and, quite literally, larger than life. He didn't pull any punches, and his sense of humor was to something to appreciate. My family and I are better people to have had him in our lives. He was a Chief to so many, but for us, he was Mr. Brad, Swim Dad and Meet Director. Rest in Peace Brad, you are truly missed!! Our love to Jamie, Alyssa, Melena and AJ.

My prayers are with you and I am so sorry for your loss Jamie.
I met Brad when we checked in to our first ship together (USS Harpers Ferry) in Sasebo Japan. We worked together and quickly became friends. I will always remember the good times we had and am sad that you are gone. You will be missed brother.
My condolences to the Yenco family.

Brad graduated from Normandy along with our son, Mickey. We enjoyed watching Mickey and Brad play basketball from 5th grade through high school. We fondly remember Brad and extend our deepest sympathies on his passing. Bob and Marilyn Leech

Our love and prayers are with you always!
