Brad has been a friend for my entire life. He was always so kind and generous and had a wonderful sense of humor. We all loved him in Holyoke where we spent our teenage years together. We stayed in touch for decades afterwards in Boston.
He never lost touch with people and he will be missed.

Bradley was the most kind and generous person, I had the privilege to meet and become friends with. He never judged people and always wanted to help others. Not only friendly and super silly but he also was so intelligent and had so many achievements in his life I could write a book! He made a lot of friends over the years and always had countless stories to tell. He opened his home to me an my family and became our family. I know that many feel the same about Brad because he had so much love to give. He will forever be missed and remembered fondly.
