Uncle Brady and Aunt Martha's house was the place to be if you were a kid! We all adored him and he always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye. We will all miss you but will cherish years of memories! Big hugs and condolences to all the family.

To Gene and Linda, thank you for always including our family in all of your family functions and holidays for the last 15 years. This is where so long ago we got to know Brady and Claralynn. So many laughs and so much fun. What a great honor it is to say we knew such a self-less man and to hear his wonderful stories. Our hearts go out to your lovely family, with extra hugs to Claralynn.

I have nothing but loving memories of my Uncle Brady. As a kid, my favorite summer activity was staying with my Aunt Martha and Uncle Brady. He was the kindest man I have ever known. I love him and will miss him.
