My deepest sympathies to all who loved Brad. We will miss him something fierce. Could not have said it better.."a party on the move." The center of fun and laughter--a rare gift especially at Bell/AT&T/Lucent. He made the nonsense bearable and fed my sick sense of humor. Will always love him for that. Huge thanks to Shelly for making him so happy and taking care of the guy who took care of everyone else. I hope the fun will eventually smile away the grief.
