William Stafford

Brad was one of the kindest, most gentle men I have ever known.

Many thanks to Mr/ Stafford. He mentioned my father, William Badger Pride in one of his commentaries. He gave this mblack farmer much respect. He must have been a good man.

Brad was always kind, patient and nice when I was a reporter at WBTV in the early '90s. Over the years when I would see him "in the field" setting up a live shot or shooting video, he always greeted me as an old friend. He was a gentle spirit with a warm smile and big heart. I'm grateful for the experience of knowing him.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Lizzy and Ian, we were neighbors in Elizabeth oh so many years ago, when you were little ones. Your dad and I would cross paths in the news biz over the years, as Ian and I did at Children's Theatre. Just want you to know that you are in my thoughts, with deepest sympathy.

Brad and I were best friends, and I loved him very much. I am truly heart-broken that he is no longer a big part of not only my life, but of many lives. Brad was the best man at my wedding as I was at his. We spent so many great times together, and I will cherish those memories. I knew Brad to be a very kind, gentle, free-spirited soul, and always willing to help with anything. It was truly an honor and a privilege just to know Brad. I already miss him greatly. Condolences and prayers go out...

Deepest sympathy to Mr. Staffords family & to many others that loved him dearly. As a faithful WBTV viewer we will miss him as well.
