My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Brad was an amazing person, he was kind and caring from the day I met him. I had the honor of getting to know him, Steve, and their family at the yacht club. I have so many amazing, fond memories from those days. He will be greatly missed by so many people.

I first met "Captain Brad" and Steve 20+ years ago through our friend Jason Gilles. I don´t remember the specifics of that first meeting, but I´m sure it involved boating and gin & tonic.

I came to know Brad from working at Ideal Party Store. He was such a kind soul. We always had the best conversations. Brad always made my day better. I definitely will miss our chats and seeing his smile. Rest In Peace Brad.

I was so very sorry to see this. I worked with Brad for many years at Valley Drug. He was such a great man and a good friend. Steve and Rick, I´m very sad for your loss. I think of Brad so often. Much love to you.

I remember Mr. Spaulding from way back when he was the long-time pharmacist at Valley Walgreen on Center. He knew his customers by name and he was always caring and personable. Just a very nice man all around. May he rest in peace and may his family and friends have many wonderful memories to share as they mourn his loss.

Some people are just good people. You can just tell by a certain spark they have. Your dad didn´t have that spark, he was that spark. I´m thankful for the privilege of having met him. I am so very sorry for your loss.
