I am saddened to hear of Bradley's death, he was one of the "gang" in our neighborhood of Lee Street and Holbrook. He and my cousin Ronnie Craig were such good friends, those memories bring a smile to my lips and heart. Bradley was never judgemental and I am a better person for having the privilage of having him for a childhood friend. God bless you Bradley til we all meet again.
