I knew Brad since we were just kids. We spent many a night rocking out at Green's Pavilion. Brad was a good man with honor of the highest order. He was a good friend and a true gentleman. I will surly miss him!

Brad was a neighbor of mine. Met him almost 5 years ago. He and I enjoyed riding our Harley's together, talking fishing and enjoying a cheer here and there. Brad was such a gentle, caring and humble man. He will be greatly missed by many of us in our apartment community. Rest in peace my dear friend <3

I met Brad in Vietnam while we served together as Rangers in Kilo Company, 75th Infantry Rangers while performing long range recon patrols. We lost touch after Vietnam but were reunited through our Association (75th Ranger Regiment Association) about 10 years ago. Both in Vietnam and in our civilian life, Brad was one of the most gentle, humble, caring, giving and thoughtful men that I knew. I am proud to have known him and called him a brother. His death will leave a void in my life, in K Company and I am sure within his circle of friends. He has been and will be dearly missed.
