Not sure what to say?

Brad was my mentor in my second year at Cooley (1969) and he introduced me to the world of venture capital and startups which became my legal practice focus for 56 years. I have very fond memories of Brad.

I had the pleasure of singing with Brad for many years in our Don't Give Up Your Day Job Chorus at the Bohemian club. He was a tenor, I am a base; so, we often looked at each other from opposite ends of the room. He was always smiling and a joy to be with. We miss him!

Brad was my mentor at Cooley, starting in my summer there in 1974 and my first full year in 1975. He was a great role model for me and took a real interest in my career development at a time when there were almost no women in law firms (there was only one woman senior to me at Cooley). We would also see each other at Stanford alumni events over the years. I will miss his big smile.

Brad was a man in full...just the nicest person ever..hard to believe he was 92..a unique and wonderful American...RIP
