Not sure what to say?

Good morning Mrs. Brady. Today is March 17, 2025 (St. Patrick's Day). First and foremost, have my condolences but know that the Lord God is faithful and you will meet your husband again. That is God's promise to those who believe. I was one of your husband's Geography III students (1977) my sophomore year and track and field runners (1979 -1980) Junior/Senior year. I always called him the " Fighting Irish " and I called him occasionally after I retired from the United States Military...

Mrs Anita Brady my name is Michael Wilson and I was a track athlete at Hamilton High West in 1977 and your husband was my assistant track coach there while the head coach was Henry Keller. I remember meeting you a few times at our meets but what I want you to know is that Mike was one of the greatest human beings that I have ever come in contact with in my life. Many times he and I would sit down and talk about anything and everything in life but mostly about track. I´ll never forget that I...

Coach Mike continues to inspire and I send love to his Bride and my friend and inspiration Anita. The partnership continues and grows stronger.

My condolences to Anita and the entire Brady family. I saw how much his family loved him firsthand many years ago when Mike was my cross country and track coach at Hamilton High West in 1978/79; he drove a handful of us to an invitational meet in NYC and stopped at his family's home on the way, his parents were so proud of him, and so gracious to us. Coach was always supportive, helpful, encouraging, kind, and funny! He made our whole track team better than we thought we could be. He once...

I was probably one of the worst female runners on his high school cross country and track & field teams. He was patience and kind. I think he knew I was there because of my older brother, Paul, who I looked up to. One of the nicest memories of high school is being on his teams. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Mike's personality and awesomeness loomed large in my time as a student athlete at Rider College/University. My condolences to his wife and family and also to everyone whose life he touched!

My condolences to the Brady family. Mike and I were track teammates at Rider during the mid-70s. Mike was a great athlete and a prince of a guy. Mike followed his track competition with a great career as a coach at Rider and Princeton. His successful leadership and coaching will be missed by all.
