Paul and family, I have thought of you so often during the passed three years. My heart aches for you and the family during this season of thanksgiving. I’ll always smile as I remember the big guy from Poca.

Brad's leaving is one of these moments, and I choose at this time to remember his smile and cover his children in prayer . May God move through this loss as each of us remember him.

My son Ricky Gilliam and Brad lived together during Ricky's last two years of playing football for WVU. Ricky and Brad were inseperable during their football career at WVU and that friendship continued after graduation. I am thabnkful for Brad's family who treated Ricky like one of their own. Sadly Ricky passed aaway in 2007. My wish is that the two are together once again.

Brad meant the world to me and thousands of others in the educational community. Not only was he a great friend, but one who was not afraid to extend himself to help another.
in talking to Brad countless numbers of times through his adversities, I knew he had a lot on his plate, but I also knew he was a strong individual who could overcome most obstacles.
I choose to dwell on Brad's good and to find a silver lining in his story by extending myself for others who may need a shoulder...
