Brad, I remember as a child watching the fights on the black and white TV at my Aunt Vera's and Uncle Roosie's, you and Bill and Margaret and Mary always there. I had not seen you in years but want your family to know that I am so sorry for this loss. My cousin it seems grew into a wonderful man and husband and father and grandpa. RIP Bradley. Love your cousin Billie

I am very proud to say I was a friend of Brad. We meet in 1981 when I returned from Norway to Houston. We spent many hours playing golf, and hunting together. After our retirement we spent hours just sitting talking, and just plan enjoying each others company. At times the two of us would go to my hunting lease and just sit around the fire and talk about life. Although I no longer live in the United States, there has not been a day I haven´t thought of him.
God bless Nancy and the rest of the family
