I met Chad about 2 years ago, we connected right away and stayed friends. Chad was smart, funny and good natured. He was good to talk to. At times when we weren't in contact much he'd at minimum keep me updated on Gus, his dog, who he loved very much. Chad will be missed.

I will be keeping him, and his, in my prayers.
