I graduated with Brad. He was such a kind and fun soul. We had several classes together. I always liked joking with him. He was so quiet he would try not to laugh but couldn´t help himself! I really enjoyed him. I´m sorry for your loss and know that he made a huge impact on many people especially the class of 91!!
